Ultrasound of the joints
A diagnostic method that allows you to assess the condition of soft tissues, tendons, ligaments and cartilage structures of the joint. It is used to detect inflammatory, traumatic and degenerative changes in joints.
Ultrasound examination of joints is indicated for various symptoms, such as pain, swelling, limited mobility, changes in the shape of the joint, clicks when moving.
Ultrasound of the joints 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.
During the procedure, the patient sits or lies down, depending on the joint being examined. The doctor applies a transparent gel to the skin and runs the sensor over the joint area to get an image on the screen. During the examination, the doctor may ask you to move the limb to better visualize the damage during exercise. The procedure usually takes about 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.
The patient can immediately return to the normal rhythm of life. If a pathology is detected, the doctor prescribes appropriate treatment or directs to a narrow-profile specialist.
