Musculoskeletal ultrasound examination allows for a detailed assessment of the pathological conditions of the joints and surrounding ligaments in the upper and lower extremities, including the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, hip joint, knee, ankle, and foot. It is also a useful test for diagnosing masses in body parts or muscle tears.
Inflammation of the joints, damage to the surrounding ligaments, and inflammation or degenerative changes of tendons can be accurately diagnosed through a musculoskeletal ultrasound examination. This examination is particularly useful as it allows for joint movement during the assessment, enabling the diagnosis of abnormalities that are only visible in specific positions.
In addition, a musculoskeletal ultrasonogram can be performed in real-time during injection treatment, making it an effective technique for accurately observing and treating damaged or inflamed areas.
