The decision to get started in the discipline of musculoskeletal ultrasound is not an easy one. Individuals embarking on this endeavor often have no prior experience in the use of ultrasound and understanding the images and instrumentation can be daunting. This is coupled with the fact that there is often no standardized training available and considerable academic rigor is needed to develop proficiency in the use of ultrasound of the musculoskeletal system.
