At Bayswater Foot & Ankle Clinic, we are always looking at investing the latest technology to help our patients.
We have invested in hand held Diagnostic ultrasound, which helps our Podiatrists accurately diagnose common musculoskeletal injuries in the foot and leads to more successful treatment outcomes.
Our Podiatrists use the state-of- the-art Hand Held GE Ultrasound System and are thoroughly trained in Podiatric use of ultrasound through Zedu ultrasound training solutions. Due to the high costs involved with quality point of care ultrasound systems we is one of the few podiatry clinics in Melbourne lucky enough to utilise one in a clinical setting.
