About Us
Master musculoskeletal ultrasound for diagnosing athletic injuries and performing precise image-guided injections. Learn to visualize tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints in real-time for faster diagnosis and more accurate treatment of sports-related conditions.
Musculoskeletal ultrasound is becoming the standard of care in sports medicine. Add diagnostic imaging and image-guided injection capabilities to provide comprehensive athletic injury care.
A comprehensive curriculum covering MSK ultrasound diagnosis and image-guided injection techniques for athletic injuries.
Master ultrasound physics, image optimization, transducer selection, and frequency settings. Learn to produce high-quality diagnostic images of muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and joints commonly affected by athletic injuries.
Learn precise needle guidance using In-Plane and Out-of-Plane approaches. Practice transducer manipulation and real-time injection monitoring for shoulder, hip, knee, and extremity procedures common in sports medicine.
Identify tendon tears, muscle strains, ligament injuries, joint effusions, and nerve entrapments. Learn sonographic findings for common sports injuries.
Master transducer movements: sliding, tilting, rotating, and compression. Develop the hand-eye coordination essential for diagnostic scanning and guided injections.
Review corticosteroids, viscosupplementation, PRP, and other regenerative therapies used in sports medicine. Learn appropriate protocols for each condition.
Understand CPT codes for diagnostic ultrasound and image-guided procedures. Learn strategies to integrate MSK ultrasound into your sports medicine practice.
Understanding your capabilities and advantages as a sports medicine physician performing MSK ultrasound.
As licensed physicians (MD/DO) with sports medicine expertise, you have complete authority to perform diagnostic MSK ultrasound and ultrasound-guided procedures. Your musculoskeletal training provides an excellent foundation for sonographic evaluation and image-guided interventions. You can independently diagnose injuries, perform procedures, and supervise other providers in your practice.
Add diagnostic imaging and premium image-guided injection services to your sports medicine practice. Bill separately for ultrasound guidance.
Provide immediate diagnostic imaging during patient encounters. No waiting for radiology appointments means faster diagnosis and treatment for your athletes.
Studies show ultrasound-guided injections have higher accuracy rates and better clinical outcomes than landmark-based techniques, helping athletes recover faster.
Ultrasound guidance is essential for regenerative medicine procedures including PRP, prolotherapy, and other biologic therapies. Many sports medicine physicians use ultrasound-guided techniques to precisely deliver regenerative treatments to injured tissues, maximizing therapeutic benefit and minimizing complications.
Receive your AAOPM Certificate of Completion with 6.5 CME credits. This certification satisfies requirements for malpractice insurance, hospital credentialing, and demonstrates your competency in ultrasound-guided interventional procedures.
