Image for Shoulder Ultrasound

Shoulder Ultrasound

Shoulder ultrasound is a medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create pictures of the structures in the shoulder, such as muscles, tendons, and ligaments. During the procedure, a technician applies a gel to the skin and moves a small device called a transducer over the shoulder. The sound waves bounce off the shoulder's tissues, and a computer converts these signals into visual images. This method is safe, does not involve radiation, and helps doctors diagnose conditions like tears, inflammation, or other injuries in the shoulder area.
