Dr Dane Vishnubala, a GP and sports and exercise medicine registrar based in York, explained: “My particular interest lies in musculoskeletal medicine, which I practise within the NHS and in my role as team doctor for the GB men’s senior basketball team and York City Football Club. Ultrasound is a key extension of this work, both for diagnosis and for guiding treatment.”
“In a musculoskeletal clinic, point-of-care ultrasound scanning with a user-friendly system – such as FUJIFILM SonoSite’s Edge® – can enable a more accurate diagnosis to be made, as well as confirming a patient’s condition. It gives extra confidence that your diagnosis is correct, providing reassurance that nothing has been missed. It also allows more precise needle positioning for ultrasound-guided injections. In a sports club setting, portable ultrasound systems can quickly deliver additional information to support a provisional diagnosis, providing on-the-spot investigation of an injury – including dynamic imaging – and guiding more rapid and effective patient management. The advantage of scanning at the point of care is that information is instantly available, without the need for a referral.”
