Musculoskeletal ultrasound

Musculoskeletal ultrasound is an accurate, dynamic examination used to diagnose and treat certain medical conditions affecting muscles, joints and tendons.

This type of ultrasound is intended for anyone who has pain that your doctor cannot determine. Guided by images captured in real time, the radiologist finds the source of your muscle, joint or tendon pain and proposes an effective treatment to relieve it.

Examination procedure

For the examination procedure, you will be asked:

to change into a hospital gown and remove your jewellery and other metal objects, which can interfere with image quality

to lay comfortably on an examination table. The technician will apply a warm gel on the region that will be observed

to move in order to reproduce the movements that cause pain, as per the radiologist's instructions, so that the structures are more visible and a better assessment can be made

Please note that the total duration of your visit for this examination can be between 20 and 45 minutes, even though the examination procedure itself will only last between 10 and 30 minutes.
