What is a soft tissue ultrasound examination?
A soft tissue ultrasound (sonography) is a safe and accurate method that assesses the subcutaneous tissue, muscles, tendons, lymph nodes and various superficial lesions. The examination makes it possible to determine the nature, size and location of a lesion in a timely manner.
Radiologist Lana Ezieshvili performs detailed soft tissue ultrasound with modern equipment and provides an accurate assessment of changes.
What does the examination assess?
- subcutaneous and superficial lesions (lipoma, atheroma, etc.);
- the size and structure of lymph nodes;
- the condition of muscles and tendons;
- inflammatory processes and abscesses;
- fluid accumulation in tissues;
- the blood supply of a lesion (with Doppler).
When is the examination needed?
Soft tissue ultrasound is recommended when:
- a lesion or bulge can be felt or seen under the skin;
- lymph nodes are enlarged;
- there is local pain, redness or swelling;
- an assessment after trauma is needed;
- a lesion needs to be observed over time.
In such cases Lana Ezieshvili describes the characteristics of the lesion in detail, which is the basis for determining further management.
How is the examination carried out?
The examination requires no special preparation. Gel is applied to the area being examined and the tissue is visualized in real time using a probe. The procedure is painless and short. If necessary, radiologist Lana Ezieshvili uses color Doppler for additional information.
