The essence of the procedure

Soft tissue ultrasound is a non-invasive perspective technique that allows to visualize with high accuracy various pathological processes in the soft tissues of any part of the body. The method is based on the ability of ultrasonic waves to pass through different tissues of the body, differently reflected from structures of different densities.

Ultrasound of a given frequency with the help of the program is converted into 2- or 3-dimensional image with digital parameters to the nearest millimetre. This allows to study the smallest detail of the pathological process.

Ultrasound diagnoses hernias, tumours, abscesses, hematomas and other formations located deep in the soft tissues. With the help of ultrasound, you can assess the condition of muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves and lymph nodes.

To get more accurate diagnosis, ultrasound of soft tissues with elastography is prescribed. Assessment of tissue stiffness is important for the differentiation of tumours.
