Embarking on a journey to learn musculoskeletal diagnostic ultrasound (DUS) requires careful planning and the right resources. In this blog, we will guide you through the process of beginning your journey into musculoskeletal DUS.
Diagnostic ultrasound plays a pivotal role in examining muscles, joints, tendons, and ligaments to monitor and diagnose various conditions without the use of radiation. If you’re looking to delve deeper into the realm of musculoskeletal health, an MSK (musculoskeletal) ultrasound might just be what you need.
You may have read our last article which talks you through some of the settings that you can adjust to optimise your ultrasound image. But there are some other things to consider as well.
There are several considerations in optimising an ultrasound image for MSK (Musculoskeletal) diagnostic ultrasound. Ensuring you have a high-quality image to help you capture the relevant anatomical details is essential.
Choosing the correct ultrasound transducer is the key to maximising the performance of your ultrasound and keeping the cost down!
Welcome to the exciting and slightly daunting world of diagnostic ultrasound (DUS)! Don’t worry though, learning how to use diagnostic ultrasound is often one of the best things MSK clinicians learn to. It can be a scary prospect, but we are here to help and make it a little bit easier!
At The Performance Physio, we pride ourselves on using the latest technologies in our assessments and treatments of patients, and we always come to Physiquipe to get that technology.
It’s always a pleasure to install new medical technology into different clinics around the UK and Ireland. It’s interesting to see how different clinicians approach ultrasound diagnostics too.
