This gel helps to conduct the sound waves better and thus ensures clearer images. Next, a transducer is moved over the gel. This transducer emits sound waves that are reflected by the tissues and organs in the body. The reflected waves are converted into an image by a computer.    <\/li><li><span style=\"color: #2d2620cc;\"><b>During the examination:<\/b><\/span> Ultrasound is generally painless. At most, you will feel a slight sensation of pressure when the transducer is moved over certain areas. The examination usually takes between 15 and 30 minutes.  <\/li><li><span style=\"color: #2d2620cc;\"><b>After the examination:<\/b><\/span> Once the examination is complete, the gel will be wiped off your skin and you may get dressed. You can normally resume your normal activities immediately after the ultrasound examination. <\/li><li><span style=\"color: #2d2620cc;\"><b>Results:<\/b><\/span> The images from your ultrasound scan will be analyzed by members of our specialist medical team.

In these cases, other imaging techniques such as MRI or CT may be required. <\/li><li>Obese patients: In obese patients, the ultrasound waves can be blocked due to the high fat content in the body, which can impair the image quality.<\/li><li>Operator dependency: The quality of the images also depends on the experience of the ultrasound operator, as the interpretation of the images depends on their knowledge and skills.<\/li><li>Restricted view: Ultrasound can only visualize the tissue that lies directly under the ultrasound probe, which can lead to limitations when examining larger joints such as the shoulder joint or hip.<\/li><li>Bone structure: Although ultrasound can show bone structures superficially, the image quality of bone is generally lower than that of soft tissue. Other imaging techniques such as X-ray or MRI can provide better results here. <\/li><li>Limited diagnostic capability: Although ultrasound can diagnose many musculoskeletal conditions, it cannot always identify all conditions or pathologies. In some cases, further testing or additional evaluation by a specialist is required. <\/li><\/ul><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3266062 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"3266062\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-63c25a9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"63c25a9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/otc-regensburg.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mountaineer-500x375.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-6887\" alt=\"Mountaineer - Image\" srcset=\"https:\/\/otc-regensburg.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mountaineer-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/otc-regensburg.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mountaineer-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/otc-regensburg.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mountaineer.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6ac3166 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6ac3166\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Conclusion on ultrasound<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4970853 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4970853\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div><ul><li>Due to the advantages mentioned above, ultrasound of the musculoskeletal system is often used as one of the preferred diagnostic methods for musculoskeletal complaints.<\/li><li>For many of the limitations mentioned, there are alternatives such as other imaging procedures (MRI, X-rays).<\/li><li>At OTC | REGENSBURG, we work with experienced ultrasound operators to ensure the highest possible image quality.<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b41f0cd e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"b41f0cd\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bf64101 elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"bf64101\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/otc-regensburg.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/OTC_Reception.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-6886\" alt=\"OTC Reception - Image\" srcset=\"https:\/\/otc-regensburg.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/OTC_Reception.jpg 1900w, https:\/\/otc-regensburg.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/OTC_Reception-500x263.jpg 500w, https:\/\/otc-regensburg.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/OTC_Reception-1200x632.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/otc-regensburg.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/OTC_Reception-768x404.jpg 768w, https:\/\/otc-regensburg.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/OTC_Reception-1536x808.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d5ad3f0 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"d5ad3f0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-578a56c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"578a56c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Would you like to make an appointment for a ultrasound?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-067fde3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"067fde3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div><div>Come in for a consultation, and we\u2019ll talk through your options for having an ultrasound.
