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.

No special preparation is required. Make sure to dress comfortably, and remove any clothing or accessories from the area that will be examined. If the child has undergone other recent diagnostic procedures (e.g., X-ray, MRI), bring the results with you.
The examination is painless and takes about 15-30 minutes. The child sits or lies down, depending on which joint needs to be examined. A specialized gel is applied to the skin, the sensor is then moved over targeted areas. The specialist may ask the child to move their limb to assess how the joint works in motion.
Ultrasound is performed using high-frequency equipment that provides high-quality imaging. Modern sensors detect the smallest anatomical structures.
No recovery period is required, and the results are available immediately after the examination. You will get the necessary diagnostic recommendations or specialist referrals.
