Why Choose This Scan?: If you’re experiencing knee pain, swelling, or difficulty with movement, the Knee Scan at UKSONO Healthcare offers a quick, non-invasive way to identify the underlying cause. Whether it’s a sports injury, osteoarthritis, or tendon strain, this ultrasound scan gives a clear view of the ligaments, cartilage, and tendons in your knee, helping you understand your condition and make informed decisions for recovery.
What Does This Scan Assess?:
- Ligaments: The scan checks the condition of the major ligaments (such as the ACL, PCL, MCL, and LCL) for any tears, sprains, or signs of instability that could affect knee function.
- Cartilage: It evaluates the articular cartilage in the knee, checking for signs of degeneration or damage, common in conditions like osteoarthritis.
- Tendons: The scan also examines the tendons, including the quadriceps and patellar tendons, to identify injuries like tendinitis or tears.
What to Expect During the Scan?: The Knee Scan is a simple, painless, and non-invasive procedure that typically takes 15–20 minutes. Here’s what you can expect:
- Dynamic Ultrasound Examination: During the scan, the ultrasound probe is gently moved over your knee. To help capture the clearest images, you may be asked to move your leg slightly (bending or straightening your knee) to allow better visualization of the joint structures.
- Non-invasive & Comfortable: The procedure is entirely non-invasive, so you won’t need any injections or needles. It’s comfortable, quick, and easy, providing clear, high-quality images of your knee.
How to Prepare for the Scan:
- No Special Preparation Required: You don’t need to fast or make any special preparations for the Knee Scan. Simply arrive as you are, and the scan will be conducted in a relaxed and efficient manner.
