Ultrasound of Soft Tissues
Ultrasound of soft tissues is a highly informative, painless and accessible diagnostic method. It allows detailed evaluation of skin, subcutaneous fat, muscles, connective tissues and lymph nodes of various anatomical areas. In our clinic, the examination is performed on next-generation ultrasound systems, which ensure excellent image quality and early detection of abnormalities.
What Soft-Tissue Ultrasound Detects
- inflammatory processes;
- adhesions and fibrosis;
- lipomas, hygromas, atheromas, chondromas and other benign masses;
- enlarged lymph nodes;
- tumors and cystic formations;
- fluid accumulations and abscesses;
- structural abnormalities of muscles and fascia.
Ultrasound provides accurate localization of lesions, their size and depth, helping physicians choose the optimal treatment strategy.
Indications for Examination
- suspected abscess or phlegmon;
- bruises, hematomas, soft-tissue trauma;
- connective-tissue injuries;
- inguinal or umbilical hernias;
- signs of benign or malignant masses;
- muscle, tendon or ligament inflammation;
- post-traumatic swelling or pain;
- preparation for surgical intervention.
Soft-tissue ultrasound is often prescribed after sprains, contusions, dislocations and other injuries to assess the extent of damage.
How the Procedure Is Performed
No special preparation is needed. The patient lies or sits depending on the area being examined. The doctor applies gel and scans the region using an ultrasound probe. The image is displayed in real time, allowing detailed assessment of soft-tissue structures.
The examination takes 20–30 minutes, sometimes longer depending on the area size. The report is issued immediately after the procedure.
