What is a Diagnostic Musculoskeletal Ultrasound?
Musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSK ultrasound) is a specialized imaging technique used to examine joints, tendons, ligaments, muscles, and soft tissues in real time. Unlike traditional imaging methods, ultrasound allows your rheumatologist to see active inflammation, fluid buildup, and structural changes during your appointment.
This real-time imaging improves diagnostic precision and supports faster, more effective treatment decisions.
