What Does This Scan Assess?:
- Finger Joints: The scan checks for signs of arthritis (osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis), joint degeneration, and inflammation in the finger joints, which can lead to stiffness or pain.
- Tendons: It assesses the tendons in your hand for any signs of injury, strain, or tears, such as tendinitis or tenosynovitis.
- Soft Tissues: The scan also evaluates the soft tissues surrounding the joints, including muscles, ligaments, and bursa, to detect any swelling, inflammation, or other abnormalities.
What to Expect During the Scan?: The Hand Scan is a quick, non-invasive, and painless procedure, typically lasting 15–20 minutes. Here’s what you can expect:
- Dynamic Ultrasound Examination: The scan is performed using an ultrasound probe, which is gently moved over your hand. To get the best images, you may be asked to make minor hand movements during the scan, such as flexing or extending your fingers.
- Comfortable and Non-invasive: The procedure is entirely non-invasive and pain-free, with no need for injections or needles. It’s a comfortable experience designed to provide fast, clear insights into the health of your hand.
How to Prepare for the Scan:
- No Special Preparation Needed: There’s no need to fast or make any special preparations before your Hand Scan. You can simply arrive as you are and the scan will be completed quickly and efficiently.
