Ultrasound diagnosis (ultrasound)

Ultrasonography of the elbow joint

Since the elbow joint is relatively small and superficially located, it is very convenient for examination by ultrasound (ultrasound). It can even be said that ultrasound is the method of choice in the study of this joint due to its simplicity of implementation, informative and economical.

Ultrasound of the shoulder joint

In most medical institutions, the X-ray examination of the shoulder joint remains, as before, mandatory in the algorithm for the study of patients with shoulder pathology. It is well known that X-ray research is highly informative in the search for traumatic injuries of bone structures.

Ultrasound of bones

It is impossible to study the bone structure using an ultrasound method. However, the ultrasound method can be used to assess the surface of the bone and cortical layer. Sighting of the bone surface is performed with rheumatoid arthritis, trauma, various infections. Edge erosion and synovial ulceration are best revealed by ultrasound examination.

Ultrasound of joints

The joint is a complex organ consisting of a capsule, synovial membrane, cartilage and bone. In addition, to stabilize the joint, there are ligaments, tendons and muscles. Not all joints are the same in structure.

Ultrasonography of nerves

The emergence of new high-frequency matrix and wide-band sensors, new technologies for processing the ultrasound signal (tissue harmonics, compound scanning) provided ultrasound priority in the study of peripheral nerves. It is customary to correlate the nerve path with its projection on the skin.

Ultrasound of the ligaments

Bundles are fibrillar structures that connect two bone structures to each other. There are two types of ligaments: intraarticular and extraarticular. This difference defines a differentiated approach to their investigation. Since ultrasound examination of intraarticular ligament is difficult due to bone structures, the MRI method is used to evaluate them.

Ultrasound of tendons

The ultrasound method competes with MRI in the diagnosis of tendon pathology. The main advantage of ultrasound is: high spatial resolution when scanning soft tissue structures and the ability to dynamically study in real time.

Muscle ultrasound

About 30% of all sports injuries occur in the pathology of muscle tissue. Ultrasound examination is the leading one in diagnosing the pathology of muscle tissue, exceeding in resolution magnetic resonance imaging.

Ultrasound of the skin and subcutaneous fat

The thickness of the skin varies depending on the location, it is larger in men than in women. The subcutaneous fat layer, as a rule, looks hypoechoic with alternating hyperechoic thin fibers reflecting connective tissue interlayers

Ultrasound-guided biopsy

Not every effusion or abscess should be punctured under ultrasound control, but it is important to use echography when puncturing the lesions located next to vital organs. Ultrasound is used to select the shortest distance to the object and the safest trajectory of passing the needle.
