Radiographs, commonly called X-rays, are medical images taken with invisible beams of radiation that create a picture on film, based on the different densities of the body’s structures. X-rays give a low dose of radiation and are limited to the area of interest, making this an extremely safe diagnostic tool to evaluate many parts of the body.
Ultrasound imaging (also called sonography) uses sound waves to create images of internal organs, structures, and tissues. The sound waves are transmitted by a handheld device known as a transducer, which sends short pulses of sound waves into the body. As these waves reflect, or echo, back from the internal tissues, they are sent to a computer that transforms them into a visual image.

MSK ultrasound is particularly helpful in the diagnosis of orthopedic and sports injuries such as rotator cuff tears, and chronic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. Sometimes, pain or injury is triggered by movement, which cannot be captured in a static image. Ultrasound is performed in real time and can provide information that cannot be detected by any other imaging method. It has the added advantage of being radiation-free. Our highly trained musculoskeletal sonographers perform the exams in a comfortable setting, using your feedback to help pinpoint the problem area. After the exam, our board-certified musculoskeletal radiologists interpret the images and communicate the results to your doctor, who will use them to guide treatment.
