About Ultrasound Scanning

Musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSKUS) imaging is changing the treatment and recovery of sports injuries and other muscular, tendon and ligament problems.

MSKUS will provide you with an accurate diagnosis and be used to evaluate your treatment.

This is a safe, non invasive technique that is fast and accurate at diagnosing many problems.

Common areas treated include shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand, hip, knee and ankle. It can be particularly useful following a sports injury.

• Tendon tears, or tendinitis.
• Muscle tears, masses or fluid collections.
• Ligament sprains or tears.
• Nerve entrapments.
• Inflammation or fluid (effusions) within the bursae and joints.
• Early changes of rheumatoid arthritis.

  • Hernia.
  • Benign and malignant soft tissue tumours.
  • Ganglion cysts.
  • Foreign bodies in the soft tissues (such as splinters or glass).
  • Dislocations of the hip in infants.
