What is a surface ultrasound?
Surface ultrasounds are used to identify elements discovered by palpation. They are used to obtain images of a specific and limited area and are used to evaluate abscesses, hematomas, edema or ganglions.
Preparation
No preparation is required before a surface ultrasound. However, it is recommended to avoid the use of creams or perfumes before the examination.
Book an appointment
Make sure you have your doctor’s prescription on hand before you request a callback for an ultrasound appointment.
