Service Providers for Ultrasound of Gluteal Region
An ultrasound of the gluteal region is a non-invasive imaging test used to assess the muscles, tendons, and soft tissues in the buttocks area. It can help diagnose conditions such as muscle tears, tendonitis, or fluid accumulation, as well as identify masses or cysts. The procedure involves applying a gel to the skin over the gluteal area, followed by a small probe (transducer) that emits sound waves to create real-time images of the tissues. Preparation is minimal, usually requiring the patient to lie on their side for optimal viewing. The test is generally safe, with no significant risks, and provides valuable information for treatment planning.
