Musculoskeletal USG
Musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSK USG), also known as musculoskeletal sonography or musculoskeletal ultrasonography, is a medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of the musculoskeletal system. This system includes the bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues of the body. MSK USG is a valuable tool for diagnosing and evaluating various musculoskeletal conditions and injuries.

Here's some information aboutMusculoskeletal USG:
Ultrasound machines consist of a computer console, video monitor and an attached transducer. The transducer is a small hand-held device that resembles a microphone. Some exams may use different transducers (with different capabilities) during a single exam. The transducer sends out inaudible, high-frequency sound waves into the body and listens for the returning echoes. The same principles apply to sonar used by boats and submarines.
The technologist applies a small amount of gel to the area under examination and places the transducer there. The gel allows sound waves to travel back and forth between the transducer and the area under examination. The ultrasound image is immediately visible on a video monitor. The computer creates the image based on the loudness (amplitude), pitch (frequency), and time it takes for the ultrasound signal to return to the transducer. It also considers what type of body structure and/or tissue the sound is traveling through.
