Ultra Sound Diagnostic MSK
(MSK) Ultrasound is a safe imaging method. It uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, nerves, and soft tissues
What is a diagnostic musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound?
(MSK) ultrasound is a non‑invasive imaging technique that uses high‑frequency sound waves to produce real‑time pictures of muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, nerves and soft tissues. Because it does not use ionising radiation, it is considered safe and can be performed repeatedly or on patients with metal implants. The ultrasound transducer is placed on the skin with a gel; sound waves penetrate the tissues and return echoes that are converted into images
Benefits
It is painless, noninvasive and does not expose patients to radiation. Real‑time imaging allows clinicians to observe structures as they move and to assess blood flow.It is particularly valuable for patients who cannot undergo MRI (e.g., those with pacemakers or metal implants)
In Summary
MSK ultrasound is ideal for diagnosing soft-tissue injuries (tendons, ligaments, and muscles), nerve entrapments, joint effusions, and early inflammatory joint disease; for evaluating superficial masses and foreign bodies; and for guiding procedures such as injections. It provides dynamic, real-time images without radiation and is cost-effective compared with MRI.
