How Do Ultrasound Scans Work?
Diagnostic ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive imaging method that uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of soft tissues within the body. These sound waves bounce off muscles, tendons, and ligaments, forming clear, real-time visuals on a screen.
Unlike X-rays, which focus on bones, ultrasound scans help detect and monitor soft tissue injuries as they happen. This real-time movement view makes ultrasound a preferred choice for assessing muscle, tendon, and ligament conditions quickly and safely.
Why Choose Ultrasound Over MRI or X-Ray?
Many patients ask why they should choose ultrasound instead of an MRI or X-ray.
Here’s why ultrasound can often be the better option:
Non-invasive & radiation-free: No exposure to ionising radiation.
Cost-effective: Typically more affordable than MRI or CT scans.
Fast results: Most patients receive same-day results, allowing quicker treatment.
Real-time imaging: Clinicians can assess movement and function as you perform specific motions.
