Simon Sun, MD
Radiologist
My Role at MSKWe post reviews for MSK healthcare providers who have at least 30 patient experience surveys completed. If you do not see reviews for a provider, it may be because they do not yet have enough survey responses, or the provider may not be part of the group of healthcare providers included in the survey.
Only outpatient providers are included in the survey. Healthcare providers who only work in the hospital or in urgent care are not included in the survey. Pathologists or researchers who do not provide direct care to patients do not have reviews.

About Me
- Assistant Attending Radiologist
I am a board-certified diagnostic radiologist with fellowship training in both body oncologic and musculoskeletal imaging. At Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), I interpret magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography, ultrasound, and radiography, with a subspecialty in musculoskeletal tumor and musculoskeletal sports imaging. I also have expertise in performing both ultrasound- and fluoroscopic-guided musculoskeletal procedures.

As a member of MSK’s Orthopedic Disease Management Team, I work closely with orthopedic surgeons, oncologists, and pathologists. We provide multidisciplinary, state-of-the-art care to each patient based on their individual needs, ensuring the best possible outcome.
My main research interests include evaluation of deep-learning reconstruction to improve 3D musculoskeletal MRI image quality, use of natural language processing to automatically extract data from radiology reports, and musculoskeletal tumor imaging.
I actively participate in medical education by overseeing an inter-institutional fellow exchange rotation between MSK and the Hospital for Special Surgery, also located in New York. This collaboration supports broader educational exposure to orthopedic oncology cases and musculoskeletal imaging for fellows of both hospitals. I also supervise medical students and residents from the Joan & Sanford I. Weill Medical College of Cornell University during their radiology rotations at MSK.
In my spare time, I take interest in blockchain technology, am an avid foodie, and enjoy international travel.
A radiologist is a doctor with special training in using imaging to diagnose and treat disease. Imaging includes X-rays, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
