- Racquetball players elbow ( condition caused by inflammation of the tendons on the outer side of the elbow)
- Tendinosis (degenerative condition of the tendon without significant inflammation often chronic)
- Burns in the olecranon ( injuries or damage caused by exposure to heat, chemicals, electricity, or radiation affecting the bony prominence at the back of the elbow, known as the olecranon process)
Our arm ultrasound scan service can assist in determining your source of pain, swelling, and discomfort. However, in order to confirm a diagnosis, it is crucial that you discuss the results with your general practitioner.
Non-invasive ultrasound scanning of the upper arms
MSK ultrasound scans produce a detailed image of soft tissue, including muscle and fluid, by using the echoes of sound waves. This makes it possible for our sonographers to find any anomalies in your soft tissue or muscles.
