Schedule your USG Right Knee at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, an NABL- and NABH-accredited diagnostic centre. It is a non-invasive examination used to evaluate the superficial soft tissues, tendons, ligaments, muscles, joint-related structures, and collections of fluid in the surrounding areas of the knee. We provide specialized, detailed imaging with advanced ultrasound technology and experienced radiologists to support accurate clinical evaluation.
About USG Right Knee
In an Ultrasound of the Right Knee (USG Right Knee), high-frequency sound waves are used to evaluate the soft-tissue structures surrounding the knee joint. It is particularly useful for evaluating tendons, superficial ligaments, muscles, bursae, joint fluid, and other abnormalities that can be visualized with ultrasound. It is a safe examination. There is no involvement of ionizing radiation in this scan, and it provides real-time imaging of the area being assessed;
What is USG Right Knee?
During the examination, ultrasound gel is applied to the skin around the right knee, and a specialized probe is gently moved over different areas of the joint. The radiologist evaluates the relevant soft-tissue structures and may compare findings with the opposite side when clinically appropriate. Doppler assessment may also be performed when evaluation of blood flow or inflammation is required.
Common Reasons for USG Right Knee
Evaluation of knee pain or tenderness
Assessment of swelling around the knee
Evaluation of joint fluid or effusion
Assessment of tendon or ligament abnormalities
Evaluation of bursitis
Assessment of soft-tissue injuries
Evaluation of localized lumps or fluid collections
Follow-up of known knee abnormalities
Conditions Evaluated
Knee Joint Effusion
Ultrasound can help identify and assess excess fluid around the knee joint.
Tendon Abnormalities
The examination can evaluate superficial tendons for thickening, inflammation, degeneration, or injury.
Bursitis
Ultrasound can help detect fluid or inflammation within bursae around the knee.
Soft-Tissue Injuries
Superficial muscle, tendon, and other soft-tissue abnormalities may be assessed following injury or overuse.
Cysts and Fluid Collections
Ultrasound can help identify cystic lesions and localized fluid collections around the knee.

USG Right Knee जांच के लिए आमतौर पर खाली पेट रहने या किसी विशेष तैयारी की आवश्यकता नहीं होती है।
ढीले और आरामदायक कपड़े पहनें, ताकि दाएं घुटने की आसानी से जांच की जा सके।
जांच से ठीक पहले घुटने के आसपास क्रीम, तेल या लोशन लगाने से बचें, क्योंकि इससे अल्ट्रासाउंड प्रोब का संपर्क प्रभावित हो सकता है।
यदि हाल में घुटने में चोट, सर्जरी, इंजेक्शन या कोई अन्य प्रक्रिया हुई है, तो रेडियोलॉजिस्ट या सोनोलॉजिस्ट को बताएं।
यदि उपलब्ध हों, तो पुराने X-ray, ultrasound, MRI रिपोर्ट या अन्य संबंधित मेडिकल रिकॉर्ड साथ लाएं।
डॉक्टर की सलाह के अनुसार अपनी नियमित दवाएं लेते रहें, जब तक अन्यथा निर्देश न दिया गया हो।
डॉक्टर या डायग्नोस्टिक सेंटर द्वारा दिए गए किसी भी अतिरिक्त निर्देश का पालन करें।
The sonologist will review your symptoms, medical history, previous imaging, and the reason for the examination.
You will be positioned comfortably with the right knee appropriately exposed and accessible for scanning.
A small amount of ultrasound gel will be applied to the skin around the knee.
The ultrasound probe will be gently moved over different areas of the right knee to evaluate the relevant soft-tissue structures.
Tendons, superficial ligaments, muscles, bursae, joint-related structures, and areas of fluid collection may be assessed as clinically indicated.
Gentle pressure may be applied with the probe during the examination.
Dynamic assessment may be performed by moving the knee when required to evaluate certain structures.
Colour Doppler may be used when assessment of blood flow or inflammatory changes is clinically indicated.
The examination is non-invasive, does not use ionizing radiation, and is generally well tolerated.
The radiologist/sonologist will review the findings and prepare the final report, generally available within 24 hours.
