Frequently asked questions

Musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound is a medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce real-time images of muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, and soft tissues. It allows for detailed visualization of musculoskeletal structures to aid in diagnosis and treatment planning.

An MSK ultrasound can show various abnormalities or conditions affecting the muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, and soft tissues. It can reveal injuries such as tears, inflammation, fluid accumulation, cysts, tumors, and structural abnormalities. Additionally, MSK ultrasound can assess blood flow to tissues and guide interventional procedures such as injections or aspirations.

MSK ultrasound can diagnose a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions and injuries, including tendonitis, muscle strains, ligament tears, bursitis, arthritis, nerve entrapments, joint effusions, and injuries.

Learning MSK ultrasound requires specialized training and practice but is certainly attainable with dedication and proper instruction. Healthcare professionals, including physicians, physical therapists, and sonographers, can undergo training programs and hands-on workshops to develop the skills necessary for proficient MSK ultrasound imaging. With continued practice and experience, proficiency in MSK ultrasound can be achieved to accurately diagnose and manage musculoskeletal disorders.
