What is Soft Tissue and Extremities Ultrasound?
Soft Tissue and Extremities Ultrasound is a non-invasive diagnostic examination that uses ultrasound to obtain detailed images of the internal structures of soft tissues, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints. This service is designed to assist doctors in evaluating various conditions and diseases affecting these areas of the body.
Benefits of Soft Tissue and Extremities Ultrasound:
- Accurate Diagnosis
Ultrasound allows real-time visualization of internal structures, helping to detect anomalies in soft tissues, muscles, and joints with high precision. - Non-Invasive Procedure
This examination is painless and non-invasive, meaning no needles or surgery are required, making it safe for patients of all ages. - No Radiation
Unlike other imaging diagnostic methods, such as X-rays or CT scans, ultrasound does not use radiation, making it a safer option for regular monitoring. - Quick and Efficient
The procedure is fast, generally taking between 30 and 45 minutes, allowing for same-day results and facilitating prompt medical attention. - Condition Monitoring
Ideal for following up on sports injuries, cysts, tumors, or any other conditions in soft tissues, allowing for assessment of progress and treatment effectiveness.
What Does the Soft Tissue and Extremities Ultrasound Service Include at Centrolab?
How It Works:
During the ultrasound, a conductive gel is applied to the skin of the area to be examined, allowing the transducer, a device that emits sound waves, to capture the echoes reflected by the tissues. These sound waves are converted into images that are displayed on a monitor in real time, providing crucial information about the anatomy and health status of the soft tissues and extremities.
Who Should Undergo This Ultrasound?
This examination is recommended for individuals presenting symptoms such as pain, swelling, stiffness, or injuries in the extremities, as well as for those requiring follow-up on pre-existing medical conditions.
