Get information about Musculoskeletal Ultrasound course

Ultrasound or sonography involves the sending of sound waves through the body. Those sound waves are reflected off the internal organs. The reflections are then interpreted by special instruments that subsequently create an image of anatomic parts.
An ultrasound image is a useful way of examining the musculoskeletal system of the body to detect problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints and soft tissue. Ultrasound images are captured in real time, so they can often show movement, function and anatomy, as well as enable radiologists to diagnose a variety of conditions and assess damage after an injury or illness. With this technology a physician can evaluate and document the differentiation of soft tissue including ligaments, tendons, nerve root area, facet area and muscle spasms. As well, rotator cuff, knees and other extremities can be imaged and reviewed.

This course will provide students with a comprehensive introduction to musculoskeletal ultrasound. Hands on scanning will be incorporated throughout the course. Students will be introduced to the anatomy and ultrasound examination of the shoulder, wrist, knee and ankle and will be provided with a working knowledge of protocols in each of above areas.
