MUSCULOSKELETAL ULTRASOUND 


 

Ultrasound is an imaging technique that complements clinical diagnosis and improves therapeutic options.

 

We can identify and study a large number of tissues among which are: joints, tendons, ligaments, muscles, nerves, skin, etc.

 

The advantages of ultrasound are many, among which stand out:

- Portability and speed, being able to be performed in consultation without the need to wait for other longer tests.

- Obtaining images in "real time" knowing exactly how the patient is at the time of the consultation.

- Possibility of performing a dynamic exploration, since pain often appears with joint mobility and it is not possible to detect them with other static diagnostic tests such as CT or MRI.

- Patient comfort, avoiding claustrophobia, long examination times or unpleasant noises.

- Useful in surgery, minimizing tissue damage and improving postoperative recovery.
