Details.
A quick and accurate assessment for common musculoskeletal conditions, including tendon and ligament injuries, sprained ankles or knees, painful tendon stiffness and swollen painful joints. The scan can be performed during the initial assessment without a GP referral. It may help formulate a more accurate diagnosis, although further imaging such as an MRI may be suggested if the scan is inconclusive. Ultrasound cannot assess spinal injuries or deeper joint problems and is not used to scan lumps and bumps.
