MSK Ultrasound
Safe and effective diagnostic imaging for soft tissue injuries and joint conditions.
Musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound is a dynamic imaging tool that uses sound waves to create real-time images of soft tissues, such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints. It is particularly effective for assessing injuries and inflammatory conditions.
What MSK Ultrasound Can Diagnose:
Tendon Tears and Tendinitis: Diagnoses partial or complete tears in tendons (e.g., Achilles tendon, rotator cuff).
Ligament Injuries: Identifies sprains, tears, or laxity in joints such as knees and ankles.
Muscle Injuries: Pinpoints areas of muscle strain, bruising, or fluid accumulation.
Joint Inflammation: Detects swelling, bursitis, or fluid buildup in joints (e.g., knees, shoulders).
Guidance for Injections: Provides pinpoint accuracy for treatments like PRP injections or corticosteroid injections.
Why Choose MSK Ultrasound?
Real-Time Imaging: Unlike MRIs or X-rays, MSK ultrasound shows live, dynamic images, allowing for movement assessment.
Radiation-Free: It’s a completely safe, non-invasive procedure without exposure to radiation.
Cost-Effective: MSK ultrasound is more affordable than MRI scans while still providing excellent diagnostic insights.
Guided Treatments: Ensures injections and procedures are delivered precisely to the affected area, improving treatment outcomes.
What to Expect During an MSK Ultrasound:
A small handheld device (transducer) is applied to the skin with a gel to improve sound wave transmission.
The sonographer will gently move the transducer over the affected area while observing live images on a monitor.
You may be asked to move or flex certain joints to assess tissues in motion.
Duration: The procedure typically takes 20–30 minutes and is completely painless.
