Details.
Ultrasound imaging of tendons, muscles and ligaments. The examination usually requires no preparation, although reception staff will provide any specific instructions when you make your appointment. Please bring any previous imaging and reports. During the procedure, a sonographer applies ultrasound gel and uses a transducer on the skin. The area being scanned may be moved to observe the anatomy. The test is described as painless, and images are reviewed by a radiologist. A report is sent to your doctor on the same day.
