What is an Ultrasound Knee Right?
Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves — no radiation and no injections — to produce real-time images of soft tissues and organs.
An Ultrasound Knee Right allows your radiologist to examine:
- The cartilage and bone surfaces of the knee joint
- The ligaments (like the ACL and PCL) and tendons around the knee
- Fluid build-up within or around the knee joint
- The menisci (cartilage pads) of the knee
- The lining of the joint capsule
- Cysts and soft tissue masses in the knee area
Ultrasound is safe, painless, and radiation-free — making it a first-line investigation for many conditions of the knee right.

- A lump or swelling felt around the knee

What can an Ultrasound Knee Right detect?
Ultrasound is highly effective in detecting:
- The appearance of tendons and ligaments, noting any signs of inflammation or tears
- The presence and amount of fluid within the knee joint
- Changes to the cartilage surfaces
- The appearance of any cysts, such as a Baker's cyst
- Inflammation of the joint lining (synovitis)
- The appearance of soft tissues around the knee
