What is a Musculoskeletal Ultrasound?
Musculoskeletal ultrasound is a specialized imaging exam that uses high-frequency sound waves to evaluate muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, nerves, and other soft tissues. Jefferson Radiology offers comprehensive diagnostic MSK ultrasound with real-time and dynamic imaging, allowing certain structures to be evaluated during movement.
Why Musculoskeletal Ultrasound?
Musculoskeletal ultrasound provides high-resolution, real-time imaging without radiation exposure. Because the exam is performed dynamically, your care team can focus on the area causing symptoms, evaluate certain structures during movement, and compare the opposite side when appropriate. It can also be a convenient, cost-effective imaging option for many musculoskeletal concerns.
