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 Probe Selection: Linear vs Curvilinear

    Linear or curvilinear? Which frequency? And what should you actually be doing before the probe touches the patient? Colin Rigney and Ryan Martin open From Probe to Practice with the decisions that quietly set the ceiling on every MSK ultrasound exam you run — probe selection, frequency, gain, and the positioning nobody talks about until an injection goes sideways. Ryan's rule, from his mentor Wayne Smith: "Scan everything with a linear probe until you cannot." Colin's version of the same idea: "Ultrasound is an extension of your clinical brain." Both come back to intent — why are you scanning, and will it change what happens to this patient? Also in this episode: a case from that same morning where a patient's anterior hip sat almost 12 cm deep and the linear probe simply could not reach it, why the curvilinear's crossing arrays can make a straight bone look curved, what to do when your clinic owns exactly one probe, and the scouting habit that prevents the most common avoidable injection problem. The Monday-morning takeaway: always scout in the position you're going to inject in. A shoulder scouted seated and injected supine is a different shoulder.

    MSK Ultrasound Is the Gateway to Regenerative Medicine

    "Whether you know it or not, you have a gap in your practice." Colin Rigney and Ryan Martin — the founders of the Advanced MSK Ultrasound Center — introduce From Probe to Practice: what it is, who it's for, and why they built a show about musculoskeletal ultrasound that deliberately isn't a lecture. This is not a 45-minute monologue on probe physics. It's two people who've trained clinicians for years talking about how MSK ultrasound actually works 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 it, and the case studies that only come from tens of thousands of reps. Plus, in Ryan's words, "a lot of dirt on each other." Guests this season include Greg Zakas and Don Buford, among others from across regenerative and musculoskeletal medicine. Stay to the end for a look at what's coming.
