What happens during a Musculoskeletal Ultrasound exam?
During the exam, a technologist or radiologist uses a handheld transducer that emits sound waves to create detailed images of the targeted area. A clear gel is applied to the skin to help transmit the sound waves effectively. The images are displayed instantly on a monitor, allowing the radiologist to assess structures dynamically, compare sides, and pinpoint abnormalities with precision.
Patients can expect a comfortable and interactive experience during a musculoskeletal ultrasound. The exam is non-invasive and usually painless, with minimal preparation required. You may be asked to move or reposition the area being examined to capture images from different angles. Our team explains each step of the process and is always available to answer questions, ensuring you feel informed, supported, and at ease throughout your visit.
