Overview
Musculoskeletal ultrasound visualizes tendons ligaments muscles and joints in real time. It is useful for dynamic assessment and guided interventions. It is portable and cost effective for many applications.
Tendon and Ligament
Ultrasound detects tears tendinopathy and enthesopathy. Dynamic maneuvers enhance diagnostic accuracy. It guides injections and aspirations with precision.
Joint Effusion and Synovitis
Ultrasound identifies effusions synovial hypertrophy and inflammatory changes. It supports diagnosis and monitoring of inflammatory arthritis. Power Doppler assesses vascularity and activity.
Guided Procedures
Ultrasound guidance improves accuracy and safety of injections and aspirations. It reduces complication rates and improves patient comfort. Training and technique are important for success.
