Discover the Benefits of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound (MSK US)
Safe, Painless, Precise Diagnosis for Muscles, Tendons, Joints, and Nerves
What is MSK Ultrasound?
MSK Ultrasound uses sound waves to create detailed images of muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and joints. It helps diagnose sprains, strains, tears, nerve entrapments, arthritis, and other musculoskeletal conditions. Unlike MRI, MSK US has no contraindications and is safe for patients with pacemakers or claustrophobia.
How Does It Work?
A transducer emits high-frequency sound waves and records echoes to produce real-time, high-resolution images. MSK US can assess soft tissue dynamically, helping clinicians detect issues like nerve entrapment, joint impingement, snapping tendons, and more.
