MSK Ultrasound is a dynamic imaging solution that allows you to see, in real time, the state of a patient’s bones, ligaments, muscles, tendons, cartilage and nerves. When a patient is in pain but cannot locate the source, MSK Ultrasound can provide a clear picture of the cause. For instance, you can see active impingement of a tendon, an actively dislocating nerve or use stress imaging to demonstrate a ligament tear. It is also the best imaging study to find and localize a soft tissue foreign body.
Going beyond just a static image on typical imaging studies, MSK ultrasound uses sound waves to show blood flow, real-time pathology and movement – all without the use of radiation.
It is a safe and effective imaging modality for all ages.
