Ultrasound examination of small finger joints (2 joints) (ultrasonography)

Ultrasound examination of small finger joints – is a safe, non-invasive, and sensitive imaging test that allows detailed assessment of the condition of two selected finger joints and early inflammatory or structural changes.

During the examination, ultrasound evaluates:

• joint capsules and articular surfaces,
• cartilage condition,
• tendons and their sheaths,
• synovial thickening or fluid accumulation,
• changes in blood flow (if necessary),
• early signs of inflammation or degeneration.

This test is especially important for finger joint pain, swelling, or stiffness, suspecting inflammatory or degenerative joint diseases, as well as assessing treatment effectiveness or condition dynamics. The ultrasound examination allows detection of changes at an early stage when they are not yet visible with other imaging tests.

What is important to know?

• The examination is painless and safe, no ionizing radiation is used.
• No special preparation is needed.
• Duration – about 10–20 minutes.
• The examination results are discussed immediately, providing clear conclusions and further recommendations.

The examination is intended for those who want to accurately and focused evaluate the condition of specific finger joints, detect changes in time, and make informed decisions for further actions.
