USG - Small Parts / Soft Tissue
USG - SMALL PARTS / SOFT TISSUE is a non-invasive imaging examination that uses high-frequency sound waves to assess superficial tissues and small anatomical structures beneath the skin. The scan helps evaluate soft tissue masses, swellings, cysts, abscesses, enlarged lymph nodes, lipomas, and other localized abnormalities.
This ultrasound may be performed on different body regions such as the neck, chest wall, abdominal wall, limbs, scalp, or other superficial areas depending on the clinical concern. It helps distinguish between solid and fluid-filled lesions and can assist in identifying inflammation, infection, trauma-related collections, or soft tissue injuries.
Soft tissue ultrasound is safe, painless, radiation-free, and provides real-time imaging. It is often recommended for the evaluation of palpable lumps, localized pain, swelling, or suspected tissue abnormalities and may also guide aspiration or biopsy procedures when needed.
This scan is performed to:
- Evaluate soft tissue swelling or lumps
- Detect cysts, lipomas, or abscesses
- Assess enlarged lymph nodes
- Identify infection or inflammation in soft tissues
- Examine localized pain or trauma-related changes
- Differentiate between solid and fluid-filled lesions
- Assist in image-guided procedures if required
