Pediatric musculoskeletal ultrasound
Pediatric musculoskeletal ultrasound examines the musculoskeletal system in children using ultrasound waves to assess the condition of muscles, tendons, joints, and bone surfaces. It is used to detect injuries, inflammation, ligament tears, and minor fractures that may not be visible on X-rays.
Preparation Musculoskeletal ultrasound requires no special preparation. Parents simply need to ensure access to the examination area by removing clothing and accessories.
The child is positioned either sitting or lying down, depending on the area being examined. To improve the transmission of ultrasound waves, a specialized gel is applied to the skin. The sensor is moved over targeted areas, providing detailed images of the tissues on the screen in real time.
We use an advanced high-frequency ultrasound scanner with high-resolution sensors. This lets us get clear images of even small structures.
Children can go back to their regular activities immediately after the ultrasound. No recovery period is needed. If any abnormalities are found, you will receive further treatment recommendations or specialist referrals.

Pediatric abdominal ultrasound
Pediatric abdominal ultrasound is a safe, accurate and painless diagnostic examination of internal organs: the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, intestines, lymph nodes, and abdominal aorta.
Pediatric breast ultrasound
Pediatric breast ultrasound is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure used to assess the structure of breast tissue and detect potential abnormalities such as inflammation, cysts, and tumors. It is a safe and radiation-free method based on the use of ultrasound waves, making it suitable even for the youngest patients.
Pediatric joint ultrasound
Joint ultrasound is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure used to obtain detailed assessment of periarticular structures, including cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and soft tissues. It is particularly relevant in children, as mobility and active growth may be accompanied by pain and injuries.
Pediatric thyroid ultrasound
Pediatric thyroid ultrasound is a safe and painless diagnostic procedure that helps assess the structure, size, and blood supply of a child's thyroid gland. The examination helps identify congenital anomalies, thyroiditis, cysts, tumors, and other pathologies at the earliest stages.
Pediatric peripheral nerve ultrasound
Peripheral nerve ultrasound is a safe way to assess the nervous system, helping identify various pathological changes that disrupt the conduction of nerve impulses. This method helps diagnose inflammation and trauma in nervous system dysfunction in children.
Pediatric pelvic ultrasound
Pelvic ultrasound is a safe and highly informative imaging of internal organs of the pelvis in children. This examination helps assess the state of the bladder, uterus and ovaries in girls, as well as the prostate gland and seminal vesicles in boys.
