Image-guided musculoskeletal injections are advanced, minimally invasive procedures used to accurately deliver medications such as corticosteroids, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), or anesthetics directly into affected joints, tendons, ligaments, or muscles. These injections are guided by real-time imaging techniques such as ultrasound or fluoroscopy (X-ray) to ensure precision and improve effectiveness.
Unlike blind injections, image-guided procedures offer high precision and better outcomes, especially when targeting small or deep structures. They are typically performed by radiologists or pain specialists trained in musculoskeletal imaging.
