Musculoskeletal Sonography
Musculoskeletal (MSK) sonography is a highly effective, non-invasive imaging technique used to visualize muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, and soft tissues. At Dr. Wellness Diagnostic Centre, we use advanced GE Versana Premier ultrasound technology to deliver high-resolution musculoskeletal imaging with real-time accuracy, ideal for both diagnosis and treatment planning.
Unlike X-rays or MRIs, musculoskeletal ultrasound allows dynamic assessment—meaning the radiologist can evaluate the movement of structures during scanning, which is particularly helpful in diagnosing functional and motion-related issues.
Muscle tears, strains, or hematomas
Tendon injuries such as rotator cuff tears or tendinitis
Ligament sprains or tears
Joint effusions and inflammation (arthritis, bursitis, synovitis)
Soft tissue lumps and cysts (e.g., ganglion cysts)
Nerve entrapments like carpal tunnel syndrome
Post-traumatic injuries and sports-related damage
Shoulder (rotator cuff, bursae)
Elbow (tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow)
Wrist and hand (tendon injuries, ganglion cysts)
Knee (ligaments, menisci, joint effusion)
Ankle and foot (Achilles tendon, plantar fascia)
Hip and groin
Neck and back muscles
Real-time dynamic assessment of structures during movement
Guided procedures like aspiration or injections with high precision
No radiation exposure, making it safer for all ages
Portable and quick, suitable for bedside or urgent evaluations
Ideal for sports injuries and rehabilitation monitoring
The scan is painless and takes around 15–30 minutes depending on the area being examined. A clear gel is applied to the skin, and a handheld probe is moved over the target region. You may be asked to perform certain movements to aid the dynamic assessment.
