Musculoskeletal ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique that provides real-time visualization of muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, and other soft tissue structures.

Key benefits include point-of-care diagnosis for faster clinical decisions, guidance for precise interventions such as injections and aspirations, reduced dependence on referrals to external imaging centers, additional billable procedures to increase revenue, and enhanced patient satisfaction through immediate answers and treatment.

Proficiency varies by specialty and frequency of use. Basic proficiency typically takes 3-6 months with dedicated training and practice. The Foundations Course provides essential skills in just 2 days, while complete mastery usually develops over 1-2 years of regular clinical application and continued education.
