Musculoskeletal Ultrasound

Musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound is a powerful and painless tool used by radiologists to provide real-time images of muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and cartilage throughout the body.

MSK ultrasound is particularly helpful in the diagnosis of orthopedic and sports injuries such as rotator cuff tears, and chronic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. Sometimes, pain or injury is triggered by movement, which cannot be captured in a static image. Ultrasound is performed in real time and can provide information that cannot be detected by any other imaging method. It has the added advantage of being radiation-free.

Our highly trained musculoskeletal sonographers perform the exams in a comfortable setting, using your feedback to help pinpoint the problem area. After the exam, our board-certified musculoskeletal radiologists interpret the images and communicate the results to your doctor, who will use them to guide treatment.
