Orthopaedic ultrasound, i.e. an ultrasound of the motor organs, allows for a non-invasive determination of diseases and abnormalities in the musculoskeletal system. During the examination, we can assess the soft tissues of the joints, muscles, tendons and nerves in the vicinity of the examined area. It is also possible to dynamically assess the tissues: tendon and muscle movement, joint movement, and ligament stability assessment. The ultrasound examination also allows to visualize the increased vascularization of the diseased tissues – e.g. the inflamed synovial membrane of the joints. Ultrasound examinations in the field of orthopaedics are performed by Beata Ciszkowska-Łysoń, MD, PhD.

Soft tissue ultrasound examination allows for the assessment of the internal organs, their structure, and size. With high-resolution imaging, we can detect abnormalities and diseases in the body. Such an examination is safe and completely non-invasive. Warning signs of various abnormalities may include pain symptoms (e.g., abdominal pain), detectable changes within a dysfunctional organ, weight loss, diarrhea, vomiting, loss of appetite, etc.

In the field of internal ultrasound we perform, among others:

– Breast ultrasound
– Abdominal ultrasound
– Testicular ultrasound
– Salivary gland ultrasound
– Lymph node ultrasound
– Thyroid ultrasound
– Urinary system ultrasound
– Urinary system ultrasound with prostate gland evaluation

Infant hip ultrasound is a procedure aimed at assessing the condition of the hip joints in infants. It is completely painless, non-invasive, and does not require any special preparation. It is one of the fundamental examinations performed in the first few weeks of a child’s life. The ultrasound examination aims to exclude abnormalities in the development of the infant’s hips, including hip dysplasia. Early detection of hip dysplasia allows for complete treatment.

Infant hip ultrasound is performed by:

ABDOMINAL ULTRASOUND EXAMINATION

To properly prepare for the appointment, the last meal should be consumed at least 4 hours before the examination.

URINARY BLADDER ULTRASOUND EXAMINATION

Prior to the examination, it is advised not to empty the urinary bladder for an extended period of time.
Please sit calmly for approximately 1 hour. The initial part of the examination will be performed with a full bladder. Subsequently, the doctor will inform you to empty the bladder in order to complete the examination.
