What are the two different types of ultrasound?

Medical ultrasound falls into two distinct categories: diagnostic and therapeutic. Diagnostic ultrasound is a non-invasive diagnostic technique used to image inside the body.

What is practical mastery of musculoskeletal imaging?

Practical Mastery of Musculoskeletal Imaging is a comprehensive, case based review designed to optimize the radiologic assessment of bone, ligaments, tendons and muscles.

What is the difference between a regular ultrasound and a musculoskeletal ultrasound?

General ultrasound is used for organs, but MSKUS directs the diagnostic sound waves to your bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other structures in your musculoskeletal system. The M-Turbo MSKUS device is so simple that we can administer it in-office for real-time results or to guide treatment.

What are the advantages of musculoskeletal ultrasound over other imaging modalities?

Compared to MRI, ultrasound may provide greater internal detail when assessing soft tissue structures such as tendons and nerves. Because ultrasound images are captured in real time, they can show the movement of a soft tissue structure such as a tendon, joint or an extremity.

What is a musculoskeletal ultrasound?

"Musculoskeletal ultrasound allows physicians to see — in high resolution — a person's muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves and joints," says Risa H. Kent, MD, a Yale Medicine radiologist.

What is a musculoskeletal imaging?

Musculoskeletal imaging is a subspecialty of diagnostic radiology which involves ordering and interpreting medical images of bones, joints and associated soft tissues and diagnosing injuries and disease.

What is the difference between ultrasound and musculoskeletal ultrasound?

Whereas some uses of ultrasound technology require the insertion of a probe into the human body, MSK ultrasound does not involve that. It can carry out its purpose when it is used on the skin, making it a comfortable diagnostic process.

Which imaging modality is most commonly used to assess musculoskeletal trauma?

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) uses a large magnet to produce detailed evaluation of the structures of the musculoskeletal system. MRI provides great anatomic detail of the structures around joints, such as tendons, ligaments, labrum, menisci, and cartilage.
