Lumps and Bumps Ultrasound Scans Near Ascot
A Lumps and Bumps ultrasound is done to examine the soft tissues surrounding lumps and bumps and other swellings on the body. Ultrasound can determine whether the lumps are cystic (fluid-filled) or solid. Scans performed by Specialist Consultant MSK Radiologists who are practising professionals at leading hospitals in the UK and excel in their specialities.
Many patients have complaints related to the soft tissues, such as infection, injury, and abnormal masses. Ultrasound is a valuable tool in the evaluation of skin and soft tissue infections, enhancing our ability to diagnose an abscess cavity or deeper infection and has been shown to be more reliable than a clinical exam alone.

Private Ultrasound Scan Testimonials
"Dr S I Mahmood is passionate, considerate and, most importantly, knowledgeable. I was completely at ease and was allotted a generous amount of time with him to really make sure I understood what was being said. Booked online less than 12 hrs before coming in, process easy peasy. I have previously used a woman in Harley Street for ultrasounds - NO LONGER. My scan today was the cheapest I could find in Berkshire, yet the consultant himself and the services he provides are unmatched in my experience. Literally zero wait time.
Thank you, doctor! – Alyss Prichard
"My ultrasound at Sonorad was one of the best medical experiences I’ve had. Dr Mahmood was very professional, kind and patient. He took the time to make sure I was comfortable and relaxed, and after the scan, that I completely understood the results. It was very easy to book online, the clinic answered my questions over the phone and i was able to get an appointment quite quickly. I would recommend Sonorad to anyone in need of an ultrasound." - Adrienne Loftus Parkins

FAQs
What is Ultrasound?
Ultrasound imaging is a non-ionising and non-invasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. It is safe and painless. It produces pictures of the inside of the body using sound waves. Ultrasound imaging is also called sonography. It uses a small probe called a transducer and gel placed directly on the skin. High-frequency sound waves travel from the probe through the gel into the body. The probe collects the sounds that bounce back. A computer uses those sound waves to create an image. Ultrasound exams do not use radiation (No x-rays). Because ultrasound captures images in real-time, it can show the structure and motion of the body organs. Thanks to new additions as microflow can detect minor inflammations. Ultrasound images of the musculoskeletal system provide pictures of muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, nerves and soft tissues throughout the body.

What is Ultrasound Imaging of the Musculoskeletal System?
Ultrasound as an amazing tool has revolutionised the current Physical and medical practice.
Ultrasound constructs the pictures of the muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves and joints (small or big ) throughout the body. It’s helpful in diagnosing sports injuries, sprains, strains, muscle tears, trapped nerves, arthritis and rheumatology conditions.
Ultrasound does not use X radiation and is considered the safest, non-invasive modality for musculoskeletal problems, whether these are sports/ work, or age-related.
What are some common uses of ultrasound for the Musculoskeletal System?
Ultrasound images are typically used to help diagnose:
– Shoulder: Tendon tears or inflammation/ tendinitis of the rotator cuff in the shoulder. Calcific tendinitis.
– Elbow – Tennis elbow, Golfer’s elbow- inflammation of the tendons, bursitis, muscle and tendon tears.
– Wrist and Hand: Wrist and hand tendons and tendon sheaths to diagnose tenosynovitis as De Quervain tenosynovitis, Ganglion cysts and small joint arthritis. Flexor, extensor Finger tendon tears and trigger finger Helps to identify Carpal tunnel syndrome-related structural abnormalities.
– Hip: Trochanteric bursitis, Tendinosis and joint effusion including arthritis. Sportsman hernia, Groin pain.
– Knee: Knee tendons as rupture or inflammation. Joint effusion, Ligament tears and arthritis.
– Ankle: Achilles tendon tear/ inflammation, Tennis leg and other tendon in the ankle. Tenosynovitis of ankle and foot tendons.
– Foot: Plantar Fasciitis, Morton’s neuroma, bursitis or metatarsalgia.
– Muscle tears, masses, or fluid collections.
– Ligament sprains or tears.
– Early changes of rheumatoid arthritis.
– Nerve entrapments such as carpal tunnel syndrome or ulnar neuritis.
– Benign and malignant soft tissue tumours.
– Ganglion cysts.
– Hernias ( Abdominal, inguinal and muscle hernias).

– Soft tissue masses (lumps/bumps).
What are the benefits of diagnostic ultrasound?
- Ultrasound scanning is non-invasive and painless (no needles or injections).
- Ultrasound imaging is extremely safe and does not use X- radiation.
- Occasionally, an ultrasound exam may be temporarily uncomfortable, but it should not be painful.
- Ultrasound is widely available, easy to use, and less expensive than most other imaging methods.
- Ultrasound scanning gives a clear picture of soft tissues that do not show up well on x-ray images.
- Ultrasound provides real-time imaging. This makes it a good tool for guiding minimally invasive procedures such as needle biopsies, fluid aspiration, treatment of tendon inflammations.
- Patients with certain cardiac pacemakers and metallic implants or fragments in the body often cannot be safely exposed to the strong magnetic field of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); however, patients can safely receive ultrasound imaging.
- Ultrasound is also an excellent alternative to MRI for claustrophobic patients.
- Compared to MRI, ultrasound may provide greater internal detail when assessing soft tissue structures such as tendons and nerves.
- Unique ability to capture real time images gives ultrasound an edge to see the dynamic movement of tendon, joint or an extremity.
- Ultrasound imaging is faster than MRI and does not require the patient to remain completely still, allowing infants to be imaged without sedation.
