Soft tissue concerns can be difficult to understand from the outside. Whether you’re experiencing swelling, discomfort, or a lump beneath the skin, a soft tissue ultrasound offers a clear look at what’s happening below the surface.
At Nola Diagnostic Ultrasound in Metairie, we provide accurate soft tissue imaging with fast reporting to your provider so your care can move forward without delay.
Soft Tissue Ultrasounds Near You
A soft tissue ultrasound evaluates muscles, tendons, ligaments, and the subcutaneous layers just under the skin. Your provider may order this exam to assess pain, injury, or a palpable mass that needs clarification.
We use high-resolution ultrasound technology to capture real-time images. Your scan is performed by an experienced technologist and reviewed by a board-certified radiologist, with results sent directly to your provider, often within 24 hours.
What These Scans Can Show
Soft tissue ultrasounds can help identify and evaluate:
-
Cysts, lipomas, and other benign lumps
-
Muscle or tendon injury
-
Localized swelling or inflammation
-
Fluid collections or abscesses
-
Hematomas following injury
-
Nodules or unexplained masses
-
Foreign objects beneath the skin
These images enable your provider to distinguish between fluid-filled and solid areas, helping to determine whether further testing or treatment is necessary.
When You May Need One
Your provider may recommend a soft tissue ultrasound if you are experiencing:
-
Swelling or tenderness in a specific area
-
A new or changing lump beneath the skin
-
Muscle strain or limited movement after injury
-
Redness, warmth, or signs of infection
-
Pain that worsens with motion
Soft tissue ultrasounds are also used to monitor healing after surgery or trauma and to guide certain procedures, such as aspiration or injection.
