What is an Ultrasound Wrist Both?
Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves — no radiation and no injections — to produce real-time images of soft tissues and organs.
An Ultrasound Wrist Both allows your radiologist to examine:
- Tendons and their sheaths
- Ligaments
- Nerves, including the median nerve
- Blood vessels
- Joint fluid
- Soft tissues
Ultrasound is safe, painless, and radiation-free — making it a first-line investigation for many conditions of the wrist both.
