DIGITAL ULTRASONOGRAPHY

Ultrasonography enables us to evaluate soft tissues such as tendons and ligaments, to identify injuries and evaluate the progress of healing. Our digital system provides a three-dimensional rendering of the tendon that can be manipulated to allow even more accurate imaging of the tendons. We also image structures within joints to assess damage to collateral ligaments, cartilage, and joint capsules. Deep structures such as the pelvic sacro-iliac joints and cervical facets (neck joints) can be examined for signs of arthritis with the ultrasound, and the image is used to guide therapeutic injections of these areas.
