Ultrasound Clinic
The Ultrasound Clinic, located within the Richmond Road Diagnostic and Treatment Centre, utilizes point-of-care musculoskeletal ultrasound to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of rheumatic conditions. Ultrasound imaging provides an effective means for viewing soft tissue and other structures, allowing rheumatologists to diagnose conditions earlier, provide more targeted treatments and precisely monitor responses to therapy.
Conditions we treat include rheumatic and inflammatory arthritis, gout, spondyloarthropathy, and more. This clinic is active in clinical trials, and opportunities for participation may be available. Appointments are available by referral only.
