Ultrasound of the musculoskeletal system
Ultrasound examination, which provides high-precision visualization of muscles, tendons, joints and bone surfaces, allows you to quickly identify injuries and diseases.
Ultrasound of the musculoskeletal system is used to diagnose soft tissue pathologies such as inflammation, ligament tears and muscle damage.
Ultrasound of the musculoskeletal system does not require special training. It is enough for the patient to remove clothes and jewelry from the area under study. Additional examinations may be prescribed, depending on the symptoms and the diagnosis.
The procedure is performed in the patient's sitting or lying position. A gel is applied to the area of study to improve the conductivity of ultrasonic waves. The doctor moves the sensor along the surface of the skin, directing ultrasonic waves to the area under study. The sensor transmits the image to the monitor, which allows the doctor to assess the condition of the tissues in real time. The duration of the procedure is usually 15-30 minutes.
A high-frequency ultrasound machine is used for ultrasound. Modern sensors have high resolution and allow you to get a detailed image of small structures.
Patients can immediately return to their normal daily routine. If pathological changes are detected during the study, the doctor prescribes appropriate treatment or refers you to a narrow-profile specialist.
