Diagnostic Ultrasound (Sonography)
Diagnostic Musculoskeletal ultrasound is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of the musculoskeletal system, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, and soft tissues. Musculoskeletal ultrasound is an effective tool for diagnosing and managing a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. It allows for real-time imaging, is non-invasive and cost effective and is typically, a painless procedure that does not require special preparation.
Some treatments which benefit from using this method are:
• Tendon and Ligament Injuries
• Muscle Injuries
• Joint Issues like arthritis
• Nerve Entrapments such as carpel tunnel syndrome
• Accurate placement of the needle, ultrasound guided dextrose injections, hyaluronic acid injections and diagnostic and therapeutic procedures such as corticosteroid injections.
• Guided needle aspiration for joint effusions, soft tissue haematomas.
• Evaluation of Soft Tissue Masse
• Monitoring Chronic Conditions
