Frequently Asked Questions About Joint Ultrasound
Joint ultrasound is an exam that evaluates musculoskeletal structures such as tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints, helping diagnose injuries and inflammation.
It is indicated for joint pain, suspected tendon or ligament injuries, inflammation, edema, and monitoring of orthopedic treatments.
No special preparation is required. The patient should simply arrive at the scheduled time with any previous exams, if available.
The exam may cause mild discomfort when the transducer is pressed on painful areas, but it is not a painful exam.
