At iSCORE (Interventional Spine Care and Orthopedic Regenerative Experts, PC), precision and accuracy are central to the care we provide. One of the key tools that supports this is advanced imaging technology, which allows physicians to perform orthopedic procedures with greater guidance and clarity.

Why Imaging Matters in Orthopedic Care

Orthopedic conditions often involve complex structures like joints, tendons, ligaments, and the spine. These areas can be difficult to evaluate without the aid of imaging. By using real-time imaging, physicians are able to:

Visualize the exact area being treated

Guide instruments with greater accuracy

Confirm proper placement of injections or other procedures

Types of Imaging Commonly Used

At iSCORE, physicians may use different types of imaging depending on the specific procedure:

Fluoroscopy (X-ray guidance): Provides live, moving images of the targeted area, often used for spine and joint procedures.

Ultrasound: Offers dynamic, real-time imaging of soft tissues like muscles, tendons, and ligaments without radiation exposure.

Each method has unique advantages, and your physician will determine the most appropriate approach for your care.

Benefits of Image-Guided Procedures

Using advanced imaging during orthopedic procedures offers several important benefits:

Accuracy: Imaging allows physicians to see exactly where to place instruments or injections.

Visualization: Structures that are otherwise difficult to identify become easier to target.

Personalization: Procedures can be tailored to the unique anatomy of each patient.

Patient Experience With Imaging

For patients, the use of imaging typically feels no different than a standard orthopedic appointment. The main difference happens behind the scenes, where imaging provides physicians with the additional information needed to guide the procedure effectively.

A Focus on Precision

Advanced imaging is just one way iSCORE emphasizes careful, patient-centered orthopedic care. By incorporating these tools, our team is able to approach each procedure with the highest level of guidance possible.
