What is Musculoskeletal Ultrasound?

What are the commonly scanned areas?

- Shoulder - Iliopsoas Muscle/Tendon - Stifle - Tarsus - Carpus

What cases can I use MSK Ultrasound for?

There area a wealth of canine patients that would benefit from diagnostic ultrasound ranging from household pets right through to high level agility and sporting dogs, and in both acute and chronic injuries.

What to expect if you refer a case for Diagnostic MSK Ultrasound?
