What is Soft Tissue Ultrasound?
A soft tissue ultrasound scan is a simple and painless method that uses sound waves to create detailed images of soft tissues inside the body. These include muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other structures. It can detect problems like tears, fluid collection, and swelling. Ultrasound is best for diagnosing injuries and conditions affecting the body’s soft tissues. It is a safe and effective way to analyse various conditions without the use of radiation.
How Does a Soft Tissue Ultrasound Work?
Ultrasound for soft tissues is done by using a device called a transducer, it is a tiny portable instrument. It produces sound waves that pass through the skin and reflect off internal body structures. Then it records these sound waves and converts them into images. These images allow doctors to analyse the structure, size, and movement of muscles, tendons, and other tissues, making it simpler to spot problems or injuries.
Common Uses of Soft Tissue Ultrasound
Detecting Tendon and Ligament Issues: To identify problems like tendinitis, ligament sprains, or partial tears, this imaging method is quite helpful. It makes it possible to closely inspect the ligaments and tendons, guaranteeing a precise diagnosis.
Evaluating Lumps and Swellings: A soft tissue ultrasound can help identify if a lump or swelling is an enlarged lymph node, cyst, or lipoma. It may provide important details needed for further diagnosis.
Identifying Fluid Accumulation: Fluid collections that are common in situations of infection, trauma, or inflammation, such as abscesses, haematomas, or oedema, can be seen with ultrasound technology.
Guiding Needle Procedures: Needles are frequently advised by soft tissue ultrasound during operations such as injections, fluid aspiration, and biopsies. During the process, the real-time imaging helps to assure precision and reduces pain.
Common Causes of Soft Tissue Swellings
- Lipomas (fatty tissue growth)
- Sebaceous cysts (skin cysts filled with oily material)
- Ganglion cysts (fluid-filled sacs near joints or tendons)
- Haematoma (collection of blood outside blood vessels)
- Swollen lymph nodes
- Various types of masses, tumors, cancers, or cysts
