Ultrasound
What Is Ultrasound?
Ultrasound is a safe, painless, and instant way to see the structures of your body using sound waves. Doctors use an ultrasound gel to move a small transducer probe over your body to capture images of your bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerve structures in real-time. This is an effective diagnostic tool to help your physician examine the condition of your musculoskeletal system.
