A Closer Look at Soft Tissues
Musculoskeletal ultrasound uses sound waves to produce images of soft-tissue structures such as tendons, muscles, ligaments, and nerves. It does not use ionizing radiation.
Your clinician considers whether ultrasound may be useful for the particular question being investigated. The appropriate imaging method depends on your symptoms, examination, and care plan.
