USG of muscles and joints
Rapid diagnostic imaging procedure for muscles, tendons and joints
Ultrasound examination (US)
Ultrasound examination (US) of muscles, tendons and joints is a cheap and rapid diagnostic imaging procedure that uses sound waves to create real-time images of the structures of muscles, tendons, joints, and surrounding tissues.
Muscle Ultrasound
Muscle ultrasound is used to assess muscle structure, size, elasticity, and possible pathologies.
Usage:
- Assessment of muscle injuries such as muscle tears, post-traumatic edema.
- Diagnosis of inflammatory conditions such as myositis, fluid in intermuscular spaces, presence of venous thrombosis.
- Monitoring the progress of healing during rehabilitation after muscle injuries.
Benefits:
- Safe, non-invasive examination.
Joint ultrasound
Ultrasound examination of joints enables the assessment of the structure of joints, tendons, joint capsules, and possible pathological changes.
Usage:
- Diagnostics of joint diseases, such as: damage to ligaments and joint capsules, dynamic assessment of joint stability, arthritis (arthritis - exclusion/confirmation of the presence of fluid in the joint cavity).
- Assessment of hip joints in newborns: exclusion of developmental dysplasia and joint instability.
Tendon ultrasound
Assessment of tendon structure: The examination enables a precise assessment of the tendon structure, its thickness, evenness, and possible pathological changes, such as tears or inflammation.
Usage:
- Diagnostics of tendon injuries: The test allows doctors to assess tendon damage, such as tears or tears, which is important in the case of sports injuries or other mechanical injuries.
- Assessment of inflammation (tendinitis): Ultrasound can be used to diagnose inflammatory conditions of the tendons, such as tendonitis, which can cause pain and limited mobility.
- Rehabilitation monitoring: During the rehabilitation process after tendon injuries, ultrasound can be used to monitor the progress of treatment and check whether tendon structures are healing properly.
Benefits of ultrasound examination:
Precision of localization
Ultrasound allows the precise location of the examined area, which is important for precise diagnosis and treatment.
Safety
It is a safe and non-invasive diagnostic procedure that does not require ionizing radiation.
