Diagnostic Musculoskeletal (MSK) Ultrasound
Real-Time Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Imaging​

Diagnostic musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique used to visualize muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, and soft tissues in real-time. It helps diagnose a variety of conditions, such as tears, strains, inflammation, and other musculoskeletal disorders. The procedure is safe, quick, and effective, providing detailed images that aid in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

11. Tendinitis
