Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the usefulness of contrast in ultrasonography of the joints.

Detailed description

To determine if using intra-articular contrast (contrast injected into a joint) will provide clearer, more precise ultrasound images of the joints then an ultrasound done without the use of a contrast agent.
