Precise Imaging for Lumps and Bumps
A soft tissue ultrasound scan is a valuable imaging procedure used to evaluate lumps and bumps in various soft tissues throughout the body. This non-invasive test employs high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images, helping healthcare providers diagnose a range of conditions related to soft tissue abnormalities.
Preparation: No special preparation is typically required. Wear comfortable clothing and be prepared to expose the area of interest.
Procedure: You will lie down on an examination table, and a gel will be applied to the skin over the lump or bump. A handheld device called a transducer will be moved over the area to capture real-time images of the soft tissue structures, allowing for a thorough examination.
Duration: The procedure usually takes about 20 minutes.
Post-Scan: There are no side effects, and you can return to your normal activities immediately after the scan.
A soft tissue ultrasound scan is commonly performed to:
Assess the characteristics of lumps or bumps, such as size, shape, and consistency
Differentiate between solid masses and fluid-filled cysts
Evaluate potential causes of swelling or tenderness in the soft tissues
Guide further diagnostic procedures, such as biopsies if necessary
Safe and Non-Invasive: Ultrasound does not use ionizing radiation, making it a safe option for patients of all ages.
Real-Time Imaging: Provides immediate visual feedback on the condition of the soft tissue, aiding in accurate diagnosis.
Quick Results: Images can be reviewed shortly after the scan, facilitating timely decision-making for treatment options.
