Ultrasound Axilla (Left/Right)

Suppose you have pain, swelling, or lumps in your armpit (the axilla). In that case, armpit or axilla ultrasound is the safest, quickest, and least invasive technique to assess the problem.

The armpit contains circulatory structures like arteries and veins, nerves and lymph nodes, and fat, skin, and subcutaneous glands.

Ultrasound is regularly used to assess axilla tumours and pain, lymph node enlargement and probable cancer involvement.
