At North County Radiology, our musculoskeletal imaging specialists provide comprehensive diagnostic services for conditions affecting the spine, joints, and soft tissues. Our team utilizes state-of-the-art imaging technologies to deliver accurate and detailed assessments, ensuring optimal patient care and treatment planning.

Our Services
  • X-Ray: Our digital X-ray technology offers quick and efficient imaging of bones, joints, and the spine. X-rays are often the first step in diagnosing fractures, dislocations, arthritis, and other musculoskeletal conditions.
  • Computed Tomography (CT): CT scans provide detailed cross-sectional images of the body, allowing for precise evaluation of complex bone fractures, spinal abnormalities, and soft tissue injuries. CT imaging is particularly valuable for its ability to visualize intricate anatomical structures.
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): MRI is a powerful imaging tool that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce high-resolution images of soft tissues, including muscles, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage. MRI is essential for diagnosing conditions such as ligament tears, tendonitis, and other soft tissue injuries, and spinal cord abnormalities.
  • Arthrography: Arthrography involves the injection of a contrast material into a joint before taking CT scans or MRIs. This procedure enhances the visualization of the joint structures making it particularly useful for diagnosing joint abnormalities and injuries.
  • Joint Injections: Our musculoskeletal imaging services also include therapeutic joint injections, which can provide pain relief and reduce inflammation in affected joints. These injections are guided by imaging techniques to ensure precise delivery of medication to the targeted area.
