What is musculoskeletal ultrasound?

This can help your doctor diagnose and manage your injury. Unlike other types of imaging, like x-rays and CT scans, ultrasound imaging does not use any radiation.

• Tendonitis
• Tendinosis
• Tendon tear/strain
• Ligament sprain

• Joint swelling

What happens during a musculoskeletal ultrasound?

During the musculoskeletal ultrasound examination, you will lie down or sit down on an exam table and your doctor will use the ultrasound machine to evaluate structures around your injury to make a diagnosis. In some cases, treatment with injections may be appropriate and the ultrasound machine can be used in order to accurately guide the needle into the precise location for an injection.
