Why Point-of-Care Ultrasound
Modern musculoskeletal ultrasound delivers high-resolution images of tendons, ligaments, nerves, and small soft-tissue lesions - and it does so dynamically (we can image while the structure moves). It is the ideal first-line imaging modality for many foot and ankle conditions, with no radiation exposure.
Common Uses
