What should I expect during the shoulder ultrasound scan?
Before the ultrasound scan, our sonographer will discuss your reasons for your scan and will explain the ultrasound examination procedure. You will be asked to sit on a chair in front of the ultrasound scanner and expose your shoulder (a dressing gown will be provided for the ladies). The ultrasonic gel will be placed on your shoulder and the ultrasound probe will be moved in different directions to visualise the shoulder anatomical structures. You will be asked to move your arm during the scanning so that the sonographer can look at the affected area while it is in motion.
Our sonographer will explain the findings during and after the ultrasound scan and an ultrasound report will be issued to take away with you.
