Diagnostic Ultrasound definition

Diagnostic Musculo-skeletal Ultrasound imaging uses high-frequency sound waves to produce pictures of the inside of the body. Ultrasound exams do not use radiation as X-rays do because images are captured in real-time, they show the structure and movement of the body's internal structures, as well as blood flowing through blood vessels.

Diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging in River North, Chicago is a non-invasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. Musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging diagnostic and treatment aid in rehabilitation providing pictures of muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints and soft tissue throughout the body. Diagnostic ultrasound imaging is the gold standard for many upper extremity and lower extremity injuries. Diagnostic ultrasound for musculoskeletal imaging can be used to help diagnose:

Tendon tears: such as rotator cuff in the shoulder or Achilles tendon
Abnormalities of the muscles such as fibrosis, trigger points, or tears
Tendonosis such as patellar tendonosis (a degenerative tendon condition)
Bleeding or other fluid collections within the muscles, bursae and joints
Soft tissue tumors (benign or malignant)
Arthritis changes seen much earlier than on Xray
