Book your USG AXILLA Scan at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy that offers advanced services in radiology and diagnostic imaging; an NABL- and NABH-certified diagnostic centre. An ultrasound examination of the axilla gives detailed, real-time imaging of the superficial blood vessels, lymph nodes, and other soft tissue structures of the armpit area.

About USG Axilla

A non-invasive ultrasound examination of the axillary area is called USG Axilla. It is done frequently in the presence of swelling, pain, tenderness, or abnormality of the axillary region. The imaging involves high-frequency sound waves that generate detailed images without the use of ionizing radiation. It is useful to assess lymph node size and shape, appearance within the lymph node, and other lymph soft tissue abnormalities.

What is USG Axilla?

An ultrasound transducer is gently pressed against the skin of the armpit after applying ultrasound gel. It is a scan that shows real-time images of the structures in the axilla, such as the lymph nodes, superficial soft tissues, or blood vessels. When necessary, Doppler assessment can be used to assess blood flow in the lesion and/or surrounding structures.

Common Reasons for USG Axilla

• Lump or swelling in the armpit
• Pain or tenderness in the axillary region
• Evaluation of enlarged lymph nodes
• Follow-up of previously detected lymph node abnormalities
• Suspected infection or inflammation
• Evaluation of superficial soft-tissue lesions
• Assessment of a known mass
• Evaluation following injury or surgery
• Monitoring of lymph nodes during treatment or follow-up
• Further assessment of an abnormality detected during clinical examination

Conditions Evaluated

Enlarged Lymph Nodes

Ultrasound can provide detailed information about axillary lymph nodes, including their size, shape, internal appearance, and distribution.

Lymph Node Abnormalities

The examination can help characterize lymph nodes that appear enlarged or otherwise unusual and may assist the doctor in deciding whether further evaluation is required.

Inflammatory Changes

USG can identify changes associated with inflammation or infection in the axillary soft tissues and lymph nodes.

Abscesses and Fluid Collections

Ultrasound can help detect fluid-filled collections or abscesses within the superficial tissues of the axilla.

Soft-Tissue Masses

The scan can evaluate palpable lumps and superficial masses, helping determine their location, size, and general characteristics.

Vascular Abnormalities

Doppler ultrasound may be used when necessary to assess blood flow within the axillary vessels or a particular lesion.

Post-Surgical or Post-Treatment Changes

USG Axilla may be used for follow-up of previously treated conditions and to assess postoperative or post-treatment soft-tissue changes.

Benefits of USG Axilla

• Non-invasive and generally well tolerated
• No ionizing radiation
• Provides real-time imaging of the axillary region
• Useful for evaluating enlarged lymph nodes
• Helps assess superficial lumps and swellings
• Can distinguish many cystic and solid abnormalities
• Doppler assessment can evaluate blood flow when required
• Useful for follow-up examinations
