Diagnostic Ultrasound

Accurate Imaging for Fast and Reliable Diagnosis

Ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive imaging tool that provides detailed views of the soft tissues in your feet and ankles. At Cortez Foot & Ankle Specialists, we offer in-office ultrasound services to quickly diagnose conditions affecting tendons, ligaments, muscles, and nerves, allowing for faster treatment and recovery.


Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of the internal structures of your feet. This advanced technology can often provide as much diagnostic information as MRIs or CT scans, but with greater convenience and no radiation exposure. Our state-of-the-art ultrasound equipment allows us to diagnose issues such as tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, neuromas, bursitis, and even deep infections or puncture wounds.


The procedure is simple and painless. A small transducer is moved over the area after applying a special gel, and the images are displayed instantly for accurate evaluation. If additional imaging is required for bone-related issues, our offices also feature digital X-ray technology on-site.



We welcome patients at our Bradenton, University Park, and Ellenton, Florida locations.
