Ultrasound of the cervical spine: what does the diagnosis show?

Experts do not recommend postponing a visit to the doctor if:

pain and swelling of the soft tissues of the neck appeared;
I often have a severe headache;
limbs go numb;
feels dizzy;
worried about weakness or constant fatigue

All these symptoms may indicate the development of serious diseases in the lymph nodes of the neck, thyroid gland, blood vessels of the neck and head, salivary glands and soft tissues.

At the specialized clinic “Stoparthrosis” they will conduct an examination and tell you what an ultrasound scan of the neck can show, and what treatment is most effective.

Ultrasound of the submandibular lymph nodes of the neck

Ultrasound diagnosis of neck muscles with inflammation

Preparation

An ultrasound examination of the neck area does not require any preparatory measures on the part of the patient. It is better to take data on the current diagnosis for research. This may be: an extract from the medical history, the results of a doctor’s visit, data from other examinations (laboratory tests, X-rays, CT or MRI of the neck). All this information will help the sonologist focus on the desired scanning area and, if necessary, assess the dynamics of the development of the pathological process.

Ultrasound of the neck: what does the study reveal?

Ultrasound diagnostics allows a specialist to:

identify and describe the shape, size, structure of neoplasms,
find out the size of the thyroid gland;
determine whether the lymph nodes are enlarged or not;
examine the vessels of the neck to assess the nature of the blood flow, the degree of their tortuosity, the size of the lumen, and also to identify the presence of cholesterol deposits in them;

Ultrasound diagnostics makes it possible to accurately determine the localization and extent of spread of pathological processes. For newborns, a timely ultrasound scan of the neck allows one to diagnose congenital torticollis and begin gentle but effective treatment. The study allows you to detect hematomas and abscesses of soft tissues. At the Stoparthrosis clinic, you can undergo diagnostics at any convenient time without queues or discomfort.
