Diagnostic Ultrasound

Available at our O’Fallon location.

gateway radiology consultantsBack Pain Center, in partnership with Gateway Radiology Consultants, is excited to provide onsite Musculoskeletal Diagnostic Ultrasound. Diagnostic Ultrasound is a radiation-free imaging technique used to visualize structures including bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerves.

As opposed to other imaging techniques such as x-ray and standard MRI, diagnostic ultrasound allows structures to be visualized under active movement, and provides immediate onsite results.

Radiation-free

Diagnostic ultrasound is an effective tool used to diagnose soft tissue injuries in muscles and ligaments that cannot be seen on x-rays, and because it does not utilize radiation, it is safer.

Cost-effective and Functional

Diagnostic Ultrasound provides an affordable alternative to MR imaging. Unlike x-ray and MRI, ultrasound can visualize moving structures, allowing assessment of structures in painful positions. Motion analysis allows real time diagnosis of a variety of athletic and non-athletic injuries.

Onsite Services

Onsite imaging services provide immediate diagnosis. Immediate results allow faster and more accurate treatment.
