Musculoskeletal ultrasound is a real-time imaging tool used to evaluate tendons, ligaments, muscles, joints, and nerves at the point of care. It allows dynamic assessment and can guide injections with precision.
Used for evaluating tendon tears, bursitis, joint effusions, nerve compression, and soft tissue masses. Also used to guide injections into joints, tendons, and bursae for improved accuracy.
A handheld probe is applied to the skin with gel. Images are captured in real time while you may be asked to move the joint. The procedure is painless and takes 10 to 20 minutes. Results are reviewed immediately.
Musculoskeletal ultrasound is very safe with no radiation exposure. It is painless and well tolerated.
