Ultrasound for Single Joint

The scan uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of a joint. Your doctor may advise this test to find out the underlying cause of aches, pains and other symptoms stemming from a problem with the musculoskeletal system. It helps diagnose ligament sprains, strains, tendon tears, trapped nerves, early changes of rheumatoid arthritis, benign and malignant soft tissue tumors and ganglion cysts.
