Shoulder Arthritis Can Be Diagnosed by Ultrasound Testing
Ultrasound scanning is an effective imaging modality in evaluating the shoulder. The shoulder joint is probably the most accessible joint for this kind of test in adults.
But can ultrasound scanning detect inflammation inside the shoulder joint?
Ultrasound of the shoulder is usually done through the axilla or armpit region - but patients with shoulder inflammation find it very difficult to lift their arm up and out. Some ultrasound doctors have now been using an approach from the front of the shoulder for the scan.
The results are good and indicate that ultrasound is a very effective, simple and non invasive way of assessing the shoulder joint.
