This foundational course provides a comprehensive introduction to musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound imaging of the shoulder, hip, and knee, combined with core principles of regenerative biologic preparation. Participants will learn anatomy recognition, probe positioning, image optimization, and guided injection techniques for each major joint region. The course also integrates practical instruction on preparing PRP, BMC, and protein concentrates linking diagnostic imaging to biologic application for precision-guided regenerative procedures. Ideal for clinicians beginning their journey in MSK ultrasound and biologic-based orthobiologic therapies.
