What is MSK (musculoskeletal) Scan?
A musculoskeletal (MSK) scan is a non-invasive ultrasound test used to examine muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments, and soft tissues. It’s commonly used to investigate pain, swelling, injuries, or suspected tears in areas like the shoulder, knee, or ankle. The procedure typically lasts 15–30 minutes. We offer expert MSK ultrasound services to help diagnose and monitor a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions in the comfort of your home.
What will this scan show?
An MSK scan can show injuries or inflammation in muscles and joints. It helps detect tears, swelling, fluid build-up, and soft tissue lumps. It’s ideal for investigating pain or limited movement in areas like the shoulder, knee, or ankle.
