This nonoperative procedure involves exposing part of the body to high-frequency sound waves to produce real-time images of the inside of the body. Ultrasound exams do not use ionizing radiation (as used in X-rays).

Ultrasound imaging is typically used to diagnose:

• Tendon Tears
• Abnormalities of the muscles
• Bleeding or other fluid collections within the muscles, bursae, and joints
• Small benign and malignant soft tissue tumors
• Early changes of rheumatoid arthritis

Vero Orthopaedics provides ultrasound-guided injections at all of our office locations. For more information regarding ultrasound imaging, please contact us.
