What is Arm or Leg Ultrasound (limited, left side)? Read the full explainer →

Arm or Leg Ultrasound (limited, left side)

This is a focused ultrasound of one structure in an arm or leg — a single tendon, a joint, a lump, a pocket of fluid — rather than a survey of the whole limb. It is done on the left side here. Sound waves make the picture, so there is no radiation, and the images move in real time, which lets the person scanning watch a tendon glide as the limb is moved.
