Musculoskeletal (MSK) Ultrasound: Your First Line of Detection What is Musculoskeletal (MSK) Ultrasound? Musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound is a relatively new, non-invasive, painless, quick, and efficient form of diagnostic imaging that can be used to detect soft tissue abnormalities in muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerves.

What Are the Benefits of Musculoskeletal (MSK) Ultrasound? Because Musculoskeletal (MSK) Ultrasound uses technology similar to maritime sonar, it emits no ionizing radiation, which for patients undergoing a multitude of tests, can reduce overall exposure. In addition, MSK Ultrasound meets or exceeds the diagnostic capabilities of other imaging technologies, including finer imaging, which can make its effect...
