MSKUS
While X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs have long been the standard for evaluating musculoskeletal problems, clinical evidence and research support using ultrasound as the first diagnostic test.
Musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSKUS) offers a more functional and practical approach to evaluate joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and even nerves.
It also provides several advantages, including:
- Noninvasive evaluation
- No exposure to radiation
- Real-time imaging of structures at rest and in motion, which can provide more accurate diagnoses
