From Probe to Practice

About From Probe to Practice

From Probe to Practice is a weekly podcast on musculoskeletal ultrasound — diagnostic scanning, ultrasound-guided injections, and how MSK ultrasound changes the way clinicians practice regenerative and musculoskeletal medicine. Hosted by Colin Rigney and Ryan Martin, founders of the Advanced MSK Ultrasound Center, who have trained clinicians for years and bring the reps to prove it. This is not a 45-minute monologue on probe physics. It's a high-energy dialogue about what actually happens inside a practice: the diagnostic gaps nobody mentions, the injections that miss and why, the referrals you didn't need to make, the business of integrating ultrasound, and the case studies that only come from tens of thousands of scans. Plus, in Ryan's words, "a lot of dirt on each other." Every episode is built around one promise: take something you learned from a podcast on Friday and implement it on Monday. For physicians, regenerative medicine clinicians, sports medicine providers, anyone preparing for the RMSK exam — and anyone who works alongside them. Because you can't diagnose what you can't see. New episodes weekly. An Advanced MSK Ultrasound Center podcast.

   MSK Ultrasound Infraspinatus: The Normal Findings That Look Like a Rotator Cuff Tear

   How often does the infraspinatus actually tear on its own? Colin Rigney and Ryan Martin on the forgotten rotator cuff, the two normal findings that get read as pathology, and the overlap that fools people early in their scanning.

   MSK Ultrasound Training: Why a Weekend Course Is a Launchpad, Not a Finish Line

   Is a weekend MSK ultrasound course enough? Colin Rigney and Ryan Martin on what two days can and cannot teach you, why intent decides what you walk away with, and the honest answer to "I don't have time." Learn it Friday, use it Monday.

   MSK Ultrasound Echo Texture: Know Normal Before You Call It a Rotator Cuff Tear

   How do you know what abnormal is if you do not know what normal is? Colin Rigney and Ryan Martin on reading echo texture — the signature each tissue should have, the three questions to ask at a tendon-bone interface, and why the first thing you see in clinic is abnormal. Learn it Friday, use it Monday.

   MSK Ultrasound Anisotropy: The Artifact That Makes Normal Tissue Look Torn

   Tip the probe five degrees and normal tendon goes dark. Dark reads as hypoechoic, and hypoechoic reads as torn. Colin Rigney and Ryan Martin on anisotropy, the echogenicity vocabulary the RMSK exam actually tests, and the positioning habits that decide what your screen tells you. Learn it Friday, use it Monday.
