MUSCULOSKELETAL ULTRASOUND

Musculoskeletal ultrasonography is currently one of the newest and promising diagnostic areas for musculoskeletal disorders.

The spectrum of conditions diagnosed by ultrasound is vast: osteoarthritis, arthritis, inflammations of joint structures, various injuries of muscles, tendons, and ligaments, joint dislocations, and so on.

Unlike X-ray examinations, ultrasound also displays the state of the joint capsule, cartilage, ligaments, and the actual joint cavities. Since the examination takes place in real-time, the physician can view the desired area from every possible angle, both at rest or under strain. This provides invaluable information for an accurate diagnosis.

Musculoskeletal ultrasound is non-invasive, painless, and safe.

Ultrasound diagnostics allow the visualization of all primary changes in the musculoskeletal system, such as:

• • Traumatic injuries
  • Inflammatory processes
  • Degenerative-dystrophic changes
  • Tumorous processes

Diagnosing disorders and injuries of the musculoskeletal system is a complex task, demanding participation from experienced specialists who are proficient in various imaging technologies and possess in-depth knowledge of musculoskeletal anatomy and disease diagnostics.

Specialists at the Medirad center have extensive experience in this specific domain of sonographic diagnostics, and thus, we invite you for a consultation at our diagnostic center.

No special preparation is required for the musculoskeletal ultrasound examination.
