Bone Scan A bone scan is a nuclear imaging technique of the bone. It can help diagnose a number of bone conditions, including cancer of the bone or metastasis, location of bone inflammation and fractures (that may not be visible in traditional X-ray images), and bone infection (osteomyelitis). It provides functional imaging and allows visualization of bone metabolism or bone ...

Xrays of the Extremities Xrays of the extremities is an image of the hands, wrist, feet, ankle, leg, thigh, forearm humerus or upper arm, hip, shoulder or all of these areas. The term “extremity” often refers to a human limb. X-rays are a form of radiation that passes through the body to form an image on film. Structures that are ...

Arthroscopy Arthroscopy is a procedure for diagnosing and treating joint problems. A surgeon inserts a narrow tube attached to a fiber-optic video camera through a small incision — about the size of a buttonhole. The view inside your joint is transmitted to a high-definition video monitor. Arthroscopy allows the surgeon to see inside your joint without making a large incision. ...

Fluoroscopy Procedure Fluoroscopy is a type of imaging procedure that uses several pulses of an X-ray beam to take real-time footage of tissues inside your body. Specialists use it to help monitor and diagnose certain conditions and as imaging guidance for certain procedures. It is a medical imaging procedure that uses several pulses (brief bursts) of an X-ray beam to ...

Computed Tomography A CT scan of the bones may be performed to assess bones, soft tissues, and joints for damage, lesions, fractures. Computed Tomography(CT) scan is a type of imaging test. Like an X-ray, it shows structures inside your body. But instead of creating a flat, 2D image, a CT scan takes dozens to hundreds of images of your body. ...

Ultrasound Ultrasoound is a totally safe noninvasive imaging technique. Ultrasound, or Sonography, can be a very effective diagnostic tool for Orthopaedic Sugeons, as the technology has improved greatly and allows for much higher image resolution. Soft tissues that cannot be seen on x-ray, such as muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints, can be visualized easily. It is also helpful for detecting ...

MRI MRI may be used to examine bones, joints, and soft tissues such as cartilage, muscles, and tendons for injuries. It is a diagnostic exam that uses a combination of a large magnet, radiofrequencies and a computer to produce detailed images of organs and structures within the body.

X-Ray An X-ray is a type of radiological imaging. X-ray commonly used in clinical practice to diagnose fractures. Characteristics of the fracture such as the type, deformity and soft tissue or joint involvement are usually observed. A radiograph is a reliable and accurate means of obtaining information to help doctors diagnosis the cause of pain. It is commonly used to ...

Electromyography Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic procedure to assess the health of muscles and the nerve cells that control them (motor neurons). EMG results can reveal nerve dysfunction, muscle dysfunction or problems with nerve-to-muscle signal transmission. EMG) measures muscle response or electrical activity in response to a nerve’s stimulation of the muscle. The test is used to help detect neuromuscular ...
