Overview

Real-Time Imaging of Muscles, Tendons and Joints

Musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound evaluates the soft tissues around your joints — tendons, ligaments, muscles, bursae and nerves. Unlike a static scan, ultrasound can image structures while you move, helping pinpoint the source of pain and comparing directly with the opposite side.

MSK ultrasound is offered by appointment only. These exams are scheduled in dedicated time slots — walk-in and same-day MSK studies are not available. Please book ahead or call 786-353-9160.

Common Questions

No. MSK ultrasound is offered by appointment only in dedicated time slots. Call 786-353-9160 or book online to schedule.
Ultrasound is excellent for tendons, ligaments and superficial structures, can image while you move, and uses no radiation. MRI may be preferred for deep joint structures and bone. Your physician will choose the right test.
No special preparation is needed — just wear clothing that allows easy access to the joint being examined.
