A member asked:

Is it possible to get an ultrasound for tendonitis?

Dr. Allen Lu answered

Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Yes: An ultrasound can examine many tendons that are traditionally examined with an mri. We can often see tendinitis, calcifications, and tears. However, it doesn't tend to change our management of the tendinitis.
