USG Hand (ultrasound) is a non-invasive radiological tool that uses sound waves for the detection of abnormalities in the hand and surrounding tissues.
USG Hand (ultrasound) is a non-invasive radiological tool that uses sound waves for the detection of abnormalities in the hand and surrounding tissues. The USG hand allows the sound waves to pass through and helps visualize the condition of the hand. The procedure can be used as a routine checkup to detect various conditions like lumps, cancers, tissue damage, or infection in the hand. Hand ultrasound can be done with and without the contrast material, based on the need and suggestion by healthcare experts.
What is Hand Ultrasound?
Hand Ultrasound (USG) is a noninvasive diagnostic technique that uses sound waves for the detection of abnormalities in the hand and surrounding tissues. USG Hand is a diagnostic tool like CT, MRI and PET and this procedure helps to capture images of the hands and surrounding structures by using a transducer that emits sound waves. These sound waves bounce back after striking the hand bones and tissues to create the images on the computer screen attached. USG Hand can detect various conditions like cancers, infections, lumps, tissue tears etc.
What is Hand Ultrasound with contrast (CEUS Hand)?
Hand USG with contrast, also called contrast-enhanced USG (CEUS), is an advanced procedure of the simple USG. In contrast, Hand ultrasound, an intravenous contrast material, usually microbubbles, is used to enhance the visualization of hand abnormalities, blood flow abnormalities of the hand and tumors etc. This helps in the easy and early detection of abnormalities for effective treatment of hand abnormalities.
What does Hand Ultrasound Show?
There are various conditions that can be shown by Hand ultrasound and these include:
- To look for blood vessels in the Hand
- To look for Hand tumors
- To look for infections in the Hand
- To evaluate the pain of the Hands
- To look for the symmetry of the Hands
Which tests are used to check for Hand abnormalities?
There are various types of tests used to check for Hand abnormalities and these include:
- MRI Hand (Book Now)
- Hand Ultrasound (Book Now)
- NCCT hand (Book Now)
Conclusion
Hand ultrasound (USG) is the diagnostic tool used for the detection of abnormalities in the Hand and surrounding structures. There are various uses of USG Hand like detection of tumors, shape and size of the Hand, symmetry of the Hand etc. The procedure uses sound waves, produced by a transducer attached to a computer, which creates the pictures of the Hand and surrounding structures. USG Hand is also done with and without the use of contrast material, this is also called CEUS Hand or contrast-enhanced ultrasound.
