Ultrasound Tests

Muscle-tendon ultrasound is a non-invasive diagnostic examination which uses ultrasonic waves to generate images and investigate conditions affecting soft tissue, and joint and periarticular structures. It is especially indicated for strains and suspected muscle tears/lesions, bruising, tendonitis, cysts, bursitis, intramuscular and subcutaneous hematomas, hernias and arthrosynovitis.

In the specific case of muscle injuries, it is advisable to wait 48 hours post-injury before performing the ultrasound examination to prevent overestimating the damage.

The examination should be repeated at regular intervals to evaluate the muscle fiber repair process. Musculo-tendinous ultrasound is painless, non-evasive and without side effects or restrictions of use. It is a short examination, performed by applying gel to the painful area to enhance contact with the ultrasound probe.

Muscle-tendon ultrasound is painless, noninvasive, and has no side effects or limitations of use. It is performed quickly by applying a gelatinous substance at the painful area, which is necessary to improve contact with the probe that sends the ultrasound.
