Ultrasound examination of two major joints (echoscopy)

Ultrasound examination of two major joints – it is a safe, non-invasive, and informative visual examination designed to thoroughly assess the condition of two selected major joints (usually the shoulder and/or knee).

During the examination, ultrasound evaluates:

• joint capsules and articular surfaces,
• cartilage condition,
• ligaments and tendons,
• amount of synovial fluid,
• inflammatory or degenerative changes,
• traumatic injuries,
• blood circulation (if needed).

This examination helps identify the causes of pain, swelling, or movement limitation, assess the consequences of injuries, inflammatory or degenerative joint diseases, and monitor the dynamics of the condition or treatment effectiveness.

What is important to know?

• The examination is painless and safe, no ionizing radiation is used.
• No special preparation is needed.
• Duration – about 30–40 minutes.
• Examination results are discussed immediately, providing clear conclusions and, if necessary, further recommendations.

The examination is intended for those who want to thoroughly and simultaneously assess the condition of two major joints, detect changes in time, and make informed decisions regarding further actions or treatment.
