Musculoskeletal Imaging

Musculoskeletal imaging is a specialised area of radiology that supports athletes and active individuals of all levels — from elite competitors and professional sportspeople to recreational exercisers and those looking to improve general fitness.

This service focuses on imaging of the bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments, as well as selected interventional techniques to assist with diagnosis and pain management.

Musculoskeletal injuries generally fall into two main categories:

• Overuse injuries caused by repetitive activity, such as tendinosis, arthritis, and stress fractures
• Traumatic injuries resulting from sudden impact or force, including fractures and joint dislocations

Northcote Radiology has radiologists with specialist expertise in musculoskeletal imaging, providing advanced musculoskeletal ultrasound, musculoskeletal MRI, and interventional pain management procedures to support accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.
