Musculoskeletal Sonography

Musculoskeletal sonography is a non-invasive, painless medical imaging technique that uses sound waves to create images of the body's joints, tendons, ligaments, and muscles. This procedure is commonly employed to diagnose and evaluate conditions such as fluid buildup, tendinitis, muscle tears, and joint inflammation. It does not involve radiation and can provide real-time imagery, which is particularly useful for guiding specific treatments like joint injections or aspirations. A radiologist or a specialist in musculoskeletal imaging analyzes the ultrasound images to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders.
