What to Expect During Your MSK Ultrasound Appointment
Understanding the process helps you feel prepared and at ease. Here is a step-by-step guide to your msk ultrasound at our Rocklin location.
Scheduling Your Appointment
Call or book online to schedule your MSK ultrasound. Appointments are available within 24 hours for most studies.
Preparing for Your Scan
No special preparation is needed. Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area being examined (e.g., shorts for a knee exam, a tank top for a shoulder exam).
During the Scan
Warm gel is applied to the area of concern. The sonographer uses a high-frequency transducer to image the tendons, muscles, ligaments, and soft tissues. You may be asked to move the affected joint during the exam (dynamic assessment) to evaluate tendons in motion. The exam typically takes 20 to 40 minutes.
Receiving Your Results
Your images are reviewed by a board-certified radiologist with musculoskeletal expertise, and a report is sent to your physician within 24 hours.
Follow-Up Care
Your orthopedist, sports medicine physician, or primary care provider will review the results and discuss treatment options — which may include physical therapy, injection therapy, or further imaging.
