Diagnostic Ultrasound is used as part of your podiatrist’s clinical judgement to provide a much greater understanding of your foot pain. It is a painless, responsive and comprehensive tool that better enables accurate diagnosis.
It works by using high-frequency sound waves that can produce images of the internal structures of your body. In podiatry, the device is particularly useful for identifying joint inflammation, blood flow and bone structures or defects.
Using diagnostic ultrasound is a simple procedure. To prevent air pockets that may block the sound waves that create the images, we apply a harmless, easy to remove gel. In some situations, clothing may need to be removed for this.
Once the area has been prepped, your podiatrist will press a small handheld device against the area to show and capture the necessary images. And that’s it. Diagnostic ultrasound is a straightforward procedure that provides outstanding results in terms of the knowledge it can supply.
We thoroughly research specific tools and their alternatives before we invest in any equipment. You can find many answers to queries you may have regarding the technology we use on our FAQ page.
