Our Musculoskeletal Imaging Services
We utilise the latest diagnostic imaging tools, including:
- X-ray: Commonly used to assess bone fractures, arthritis and joint dislocations. It is a fast and effective way
to
detect structural abnormalities and guide treatment decisions.
- MRI (magnetic resonance imaging): MRI is a non-invasive imaging technique that provides detailed images of soft
tissues, including muscles, ligaments, tendons and cartilage. It is useful for diagnosing soft tissue injuries,
spinal
problems and joint conditions.
- Ultrasound: Musculoskeletal ultrasound allows for real-time imaging of muscles, tendons and ligaments, helping
to
evaluate soft tissues, inflammation and abnormalities. It is a safe and efficient tool, particularly for
assessing
conditions in the joints and surrounding tissues.
- CT Scan (computed tomography): CT scans offer cross-sectional images of bones and soft tissues, giving a
comprehensive
review of the musculoskeletal system. It is particularly helpful in evaluating complex bone fractures, tumours
and
spinal disorders.
