Why Choose This Scan?: If you’re experiencing elbow pain, stiffness, or discomfort—whether from a recent injury, repetitive strain, or long-standing issues—the Elbow Scan at UKSONO Healthcare can help you understand the cause. Our ultrasound examination is a quick, non-invasive way to identify inflammation, tendon damage, or soft tissue injuries, allowing for timely diagnosis and treatment.
What Does This Scan Assess?:
- Biceps Tendon: The scan checks the biceps tendon for signs of tendinitis or tears, which are common causes of elbow pain, particularly in athletes and those with repetitive motion injuries.
- Ligaments and Joint Structures: The scan assesses the integrity of the ligaments and surrounding soft tissues, checking for inflammation or injury, such as ligament sprains or tears.
- Soft Tissue Inflammation: It helps identify inflammation or damage to the soft tissues around the elbow joint, including bursitis or tendonitis.
What to Expect During the Scan?: The Elbow Scan is a quick, painless, and non-invasive procedure, typically lasting 15–20 minutes. Here’s what you can expect:
- Dynamic Ultrasound Examination: The scan is performed using an ultrasound probe that’s gently moved over the affected elbow area. To capture the best images, you may be asked to make minor movements or position your arm in different ways during the scan.
- No Needles or Injections: This scan is entirely non-invasive, meaning you won’t need any needles or injections. The procedure is pain-free, and most patients find it comfortable and easy to undergo.
How to Prepare for the Scan:
- No Special Preparation Needed: There’s no need to fast or make any special arrangements before your Elbow Scan. You can arrive as you are, and the scan will be performed without any hassle or discomfort.
