Soft Tissue Ultrasound

A soft tissue ultrasound is done to examine the soft tissues surrounding lumps and bumps and other swellings on the body. Ultrasound can determine whether the lumps are cystic (fluid-filled) or solid.

This procedure may be requested for those who have:

Lumps
Enlarged lymph nodes
Infections
Hematomas
Masses

A simple soft tissue ultrasound scan is performed to help detect, assess and diagnose what type of lump is present.

This procedure can provide vital information such as:

size
consistency
location
and appearance.

These are important details that will be used for a diagnosis.

An ultrasound may be requested to assess a lump or bump that may not have been covered in other tests provided. Rest assured that most lumps and bumps are not sinister.
