Diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound
Diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound is a specialized application of ultrasound technology focused on imaging the muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, and surrounding soft tissues in the body’s musculoskeletal system. This technique allows for real-time visualization of structures, helping to assess injuries, inflammation, or abnormalities. It is commonly used to diagnose conditions such as tendonitis, ligament injuries, muscle tears, and joint disorders. Musculoskeletal ultrasound is advantageous for its ability to provide dynamic images, allowing clinicians to evaluate structures during movement or certain activities.
