Soft tissue (tendons, subcutaneous tissue, etc.) ultrasound examination (echoscopy)

Soft tissue (tendons, subcutaneous tissue, etc.) ultrasound examination – it is a safe, non-invasive, and informative imaging examination used to assess the structure of superficial tissues and possible changes.

During the examination, ultrasound evaluates:

• tendons and their integrity,
• muscles and their structure,
• subcutaneous tissue,
• nodules, cysts, hematomas, or other formations,
• inflammatory changes,
• blood flow (if needed),
• traumatic or degenerative changes.

This examination helps determine the causes of pain, swelling, or palpable formations, assess the consequences of injuries, inflammatory processes, and monitor the progress of already identified changes or treatment effectiveness. Ultrasound examination allows precise differentiation of soft tissue pathologies in real-time.

What is important to know?

• The examination is painless and safe, no ionizing radiation is used.
• Special preparation is usually not required.
• Duration – about 10–20 minutes (depends on the area being examined).
• The results of the examination are discussed immediately, providing clear conclusions and, if necessary, further recommendations.

The examination is intended for those who want to accurately and timely assess the condition of soft tissues, identify possible changes, and make informed decisions regarding further examination or treatment.
