Musculoskeletal Ultrasound

Advanced Assessment for Muscles, Tendons and Soft Tissue

Musculoskeletal ultrasound provides detailed, real-time imaging of soft tissue to support diagnosis and treatment planning. It is used alongside clinical assessment, not as a replacement for it.

Our Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Services

Our musculoskeletal ultrasound services use real-time imaging to support clinical assessment, giving a clearer picture of the joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments and soft tissue involved in your symptoms. This detail helps your clinician plan the most appropriate course of treatment with confidence.

Start here

Initial Ultrasound Assessment & Scan

A combined clinical assessment and scan used to help build a picture of the structures involved in your symptoms.

Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Scan

Real-time imaging used to assess tendons, muscles, ligaments, joints and soft tissue.

Nerve Ultrasound Assessment

Imaging that may help assess nerve structures where nerve-related symptoms are suspected.

Post-Surgical Ultrasound Review

A follow-up scan sometimes used to help review healing and progress after surgery, at your surgeon's or clinician's discretion.

Common Areas We Scan & Assess

Musculoskeletal ultrasound provides detailed real-time imaging of muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints and soft tissues. All scans are performed by experienced specialist sonographers.

Ankle & Foot Scan

Pain in the ankle or foot can affect walking, exercise and everyday activities. This scan examines the ligaments, tendons, plantar fascia, Achilles tendon and other soft tissue structures. It helps assess tendon injuries, ligament damage, plantar fasciitis, inflammation, and fluid collections.

Elbow & Forearm Scan

Whether symptoms developed gradually or after injury, this scan assesses tendons, ligaments, muscles and nerves. It supports evaluation of tendon injuries, tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, ligament problems and nerve conditions.

Groin & Hernia Scan

Pain or swelling in the groin can arise from several structures. This scan assesses muscles, tendons and soft tissues and can evaluate for inguinal or femoral hernia where appropriate.

Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Scans

Our Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Scans

01

Hip & Gluteal Region Scan

Pain around the hip or buttock can make walking, climbing stairs or sitting uncomfortable. This scan examines the muscles, tendons, bursae and surrounding soft tissues. It may assist in assessing tendon injuries, bursitis, muscle tears and soft tissue inflammation.

02

Knee Scan

The knee is one of the most commonly injured joints. This scan assesses the tendons, ligaments, bursae and soft tissues around the knee. It helps identify inflammation, fluid collections, tendon injuries and other soft tissue abnormalities.

03

Lumps & Bumps Scan

If you have noticed a lump or swelling beneath the skin, this scan provides valuable information about its appearance and location. It assesses superficial soft tissue lumps including cysts, lipomas and other benign swellings.

04

Residual Limb Assessment

This specialist scan is for people with limb loss experiencing pain, swelling or changes. It assesses soft tissues for fluid collections, neuromas, bursae, inflammation and other changes that may affect comfort or prosthetic fitting.

Specialised Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Scans

High-resolution imaging for accurate diagnosis and personalised treatment of muscles, tendons, ligaments & joints

Shoulder & Upper Arm Scan

Shoulder pain can make simple daily activities such as dressing, reaching or sleeping uncomfortable. This scan examines the rotator cuff, biceps tendon, muscles and surrounding soft tissues of the shoulder and upper arm. It may assist in assessing tendon tears, inflammation, bursitis, fluid collections and other soft tissue conditions.

Synovitis Assessment

For people living with inflammatory arthritis or autoimmune conditions, monitoring joint inflammation is an important part of ongoing care. This examination assesses joints such as the hands, wrists, feet or ankles for features that may be consistent with active synovitis. The findings can support your clinician when reviewing treatment and disease activity.

Thigh & Hamstring Scan

Muscle injuries can occur during sport, exercise or everyday activities. This scan examines the muscles, tendons and surrounding soft tissues of the thigh and hamstring to assess strains, tears, haematomas and other soft tissue injuries. It also helps monitor healing where follow up imaging is required.

Wrist & Hand Scan

Pain, swelling, stiffness or tingling in the wrist or hand can affect everyday tasks. This scan assesses the tendons, nerves, ligaments and small joints of the hand and wrist. It may support the assessment of tendon inflammation, carpal tunnel syndrome, ganglion cysts, ligament injuries and other soft tissue conditions.
