USG Upper arm (ultrasound) is non-invasive radiological tool which uses sound waves for the detection of abnormalities in the upper arm and surrounding tissues. USG upper arm allows the sound waves to pass through and help visualize the condition of upper arm. The procedure can be used as routine checkup to detect various conditions like lumps, cancers, tissue damage or infection in the upper arm.
Upper Arm Ultrasound
USG Upper arm is diagnostic tool like CT, MRI and PET and this procedure helps to capture images of the upper arms and surrounding structures by using a transducer which emits sound waves. These sound waves bounce back after striking the upper arm bones and tissues to create the images on the computer screen attached. USG Upper arm can detect various conditions like cancers, infections, lumps, tissue tear etc.
What is Upper arm Ultrasound with contrast (CEUS Upper arm)?
Upper arm USG with contrast also called contrast enhanced USG (CEUS) is the advanced procedure of the simple USG Upper arm. In contrast Upper arm ultrasound, an intravenous contrast material usually microbubbles is used to enhance the visualization of upper arm abnormalities, blood flow abnormalities of upper arm and tumors etc. This helps in easy and early detection of abnormalities for effective treatment of upper arm abnormalities.
What Does Upper arm Ultrasound Show?
There are various conditions which can be shown by Upper arm ultrasound and these include:
- To look for blood vessels in Upper arm
- To look for Upper arm tumors
- To look for infections in the Upper arm

Fracture
Upper arm fracture is related to bone condition which occurs when bone is involved in upper arm abnormality. Fractures in upper arm can be minor or major depends on impact of the cause responsible for fracture of upper arm.
Bone dislocations
Upper arm is prone to dislocations because upper arm sometimes is responsible to carry heavy loads. Dislocations usually occurs at the joints and upper arm joins at elbow and shoulder, these two joints can lead to dislocation during any accident.
Arthritis
Arthritis is the autoimmune disease which can affect upper arm easily as it affects other bones of the body. Arthritis usually affects the joints first and upper arm is no surprise for the same. This condition can lead to inflammation of joint which can badly affect working of upper arm.

Which tests are used to check for the Upper arm abnormalities?
There are various types of tests used to check for Upper arm abnormalities and these include:
- MRI Upper arm (Book Now)
- Upper arm Ultrasound (Book Now)
- NCCT upper arm (Book Now)
Conclusion
Upper arm ultrasound (USG) is the diagnostic tool used for the detection of abnormalities in the upper arm and surrounding structures. There are various uses of USG Upper arm like detection of tumor, shape and size of Upper arm, symmetry of Upper arm etc. The procedure uses sound waves, produced by transducer attached with computer which creates the pictures of Upper arm and surrounding structures. USG Upper arm is also done with and without the use contrast material, this is also called CEUS Upper arm or contrast enhanced ultrasound.
