Musculoskeletal Ultrasounds

Musculoskeletal ultrasound is a non-invasive medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints in the body. It is commonly used to evaluate conditions such as sports injuries, arthritis, and soft tissue masses. During the procedure, a small handheld device called a transducer is placed on the skin over the affected area to capture the images.

Musculoskeletal ultrasound can help to identify tears, inflammation, and other abnormalities in the soft tissue structures, as well as guide injections or other therapeutic procedures. It is considered safe and painless and does not involve the use of ionizing radiation. Musculoskeletal ultrasound is often used in combination with other imaging techniques, such as X-rays or MRI, for a more comprehensive evaluation.
