Musculoskeletal & Sports Injury Ultrasound
A musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound is a diagnostic imaging examination used to assess muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, bursae, and surrounding soft tissues.
It is particularly useful for evaluating sports injuries, acute trauma, overuse injuries, and chronic pain, allowing real-time assessment of both structure and movement.
This examination is performed by a registered diagnostic sonographer and provides a detailed diagnostic report of findings for your referring doctor or healthcare provider.
Common conditions assessed include:
Tendon tears (partial or full thickness)
Muscle strains and ruptures
Ligament injuries
Rotator cuff pathology
Tennis or golfer’s elbow
Achilles and patellar tendon injuries
Bursitis
Joint effusions
Soft tissue masses or swelling
Dynamic assessment may be performed, allowing evaluation of structures during movement, which is especially helpful in sports-related injuries.
Advantages of musculoskeletal ultrasound
No radiation
Real-time imaging
Dynamic assessment during movement
Ability to compare with the opposite side
Excellent evaluation of superficial soft tissues
Preparation instructions
No fasting required
Please wear comfortable clothing or bring shorts / vest if the shoulder, hip, knee, or ankle is being assessed
Important note
This is a diagnostic medical examination. A written ultrasound report is provided following the scan and may assist your doctor or therapist in guiding further management or treatment.
