Elbow Imaging Techniques

Elbow imaging techniques are medical tools used to visualize the structures within your elbow, such as bones, tendons, and soft tissues. The most common methods are X-rays, which produce detailed images of bones; MRI scans, which provide clear pictures of soft tissues like muscles and ligaments; and ultrasound, which uses sound waves to assess soft tissues in real time. These imaging techniques help doctors diagnose injuries, inflammation, or abnormalities, guiding appropriate treatment. They are safe procedures that offer valuable insights into the condition of your elbow without the need for invasive methods.
