What the Wrist Scan Assesses
Our ultrasound scan evaluates key structures of the wrist, including:
- Tendons & Ligaments – Detects tendinitis, sprains, tears, or inflammation affecting movement and grip strength.
- Nerve Compression – Assesses for carpal tunnel syndrome, caused by pressure on the median nerve, leading to pain, numbness, or tingling.
- Joint Health & Soft Tissue Inflammation – Identifies arthritis, synovitis, ganglion cysts, bursitis, or fluid build-up, which may cause stiffness and discomfort.
- Post-Injury or Post-Surgical Monitoring – Evaluates healing after fractures, ligament tears, or surgical interventions.
What to Expect During Your Scan
- Comfortable & Painless Procedure – No needles, injections, or radiation exposure.
- Real-Time Imaging – A sonographer moves a small handheld probe over the wrist using a safe, water-based gel to capture detailed images.
- Dynamic Assessment – You may be asked to move your wrist during the scan to evaluate function and detect subtle abnormalities.
- Quick & Efficient – The scan takes 15–20 minutes, and same-day results are available for prompt diagnosis and treatment planning.
How to Prepare for Your Scan
- No special preparation is needed – You can eat, drink, and take medications as normal.
- Wear loose-fitting clothing to allow easy access to the wrist.
- Bring any previous medical reports related to your wrist condition if available.
