Knee and elbow ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of joints and surrounding tissues. This diagnostic method helps identify conditions such as inflammation, ligament tears, or fluid buildup in the joints.

Why Choose Ultrasound for Joint Diagnosis?

  1. Accurate Problem Identification
    Ultrasound offers clear images of joint structures like ligaments, cartilage, and joint capsules, aiding in precise treatment planning.
  2. Minimizes Need for Complex Tests
    In many cases, ultrasound provides a quick and effective alternative to MRI or CT scans.
  3. Safe and Radiation-Free
    This non-invasive method uses no radiation, making it suitable for patients of all ages.

Who Should Consider Knee and Elbow Ultrasound?

  • Individuals with pain or swelling in the knee or elbow
  • Those recovering from injuries like ligament tears or sprains
  • Patients with chronic joint conditions such as gout or arthritis

Simple and Convenient Procedure

The ultrasound process is straightforward and requires no special preparation. Patients are typically seated or lying down during the scan, which provides real-time images through a transducer placed over the affected area.
