Our orthopedic diagnostics offer a wide range of procedures for examining and treating diseases of the musculoskeletal system. One of these procedures is ultrasound, which is radiation-free and is used to visualize the structures of the musculoskeletal system.
Using ultrasound, we can identify and assess sources of pain and inflammation in muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints. We can also examine the structure of soft tissues such as muscles and tendons and detect injuries or degenerative changes. The procedure is particularly suitable for diagnosing injuries and diseases of the shoulder joint, elbow, hand, hip joint, knee and ankle joint.
Ultrasound is simple and painless. The patient lies on an examination couch while the doctor places a special device on the area to be examined. The sound waves generated penetrate the tissue and are reflected by the structures of the musculoskeletal system. These reflected sound waves are captured by a receiver in the ultrasound device and converted into an image that the doctor can interpret.
Ultrasound is a quick and precise method for examining pain and injuries in the musculoskeletal system. It is also a non-invasive procedure that does not involve radiation and is therefore safe for the patient.
