Ultrasound of joints in Kiev
How is an ultrasound of the joints performed
An ultrasound of the joints is an absolutely painless and safe procedure that lasts up to 45 minutes (depending on the required scope of the examination).
A special gel is applied to the examination area, which improves the transmission of the ultrasound signal. The doctor displays the image on the ultrasound device screen in real time and makes the necessary measurements (examines the structure of the tissues, the condition of the cartilage, muscles, tendons, joint bags).
After that, the specialist draws a conclusion based on the results of the ultrasound examination.
How to prepare for a joint ultrasound?
No special preparation is usually required for a joint ultrasound. It is recommended to wear comfortable clothing that is easy to remove or lift to access the area being examined. If the lower extremity joints are to be examined, it is advisable to avoid strenuous exercise the day before the procedure.
What does an ultrasound of the joints show?
An ultrasound examination is performed to examine tissues whose condition cannot be assessed by X-ray. The condition of the muscles, cartilage, joint capsules and tendons is simultaneously checked. The doctor performs an ultrasound scan of two joints at once for comparative analysis, which allows for a diagnosis.
