Abstract

Musculoskeletal ultrasound is a safe, reliable, and inexpensive alternative to other imaging modalities. Ultrasound is utilized by clinicians both diagnostically and therapeutically. It can be used to assess inflammatory and non-inflammatory conditions of the joints and peri-articular structures. Utilizing musculoskeletal ultrasound for invasive procedures, such as aspiration and injection of joints, bursa, and tendon sheaths, allows for improved precision and increases patient satisfaction.
