Shoulder Ultrasound Scan
At Ultramsono, we offer comprehensive shoulder ultrasound scans for both men and women. This safe, painless, and non-invasive imaging technique is an effective diagnostic tool for assessing shoulder pain and pathology, which are common conditions affecting people of all ages.
During the scan, our experienced clinicians carefully evaluate the key musculoskeletal structures of the shoulder, with a special focus on the rotator cuff, a group of muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint and are essential for movement and stability.
This is a dynamic and real-time scan, allowing our clinicians to observe the shoulder in motion, identify tears, inflammation, or impingement, and assist in diagnosing conditions such as rotator cuff injuries, frozen shoulder, or biceps tendonitis. Early diagnosis helps guide your treatment plan, relieve pain, and restore shoulder function.
