What is that lump?
Let’s look.
Most lumps are harmless. Ultrasound shows whether a lump is solid or filled with fluid, how big it is and how it relates to the tissues around it.
Lipomas
Fatty lumps under the skin.
Hernias & glands
Lumps that turn out to be a hernia or a lymph node.
Blood flow
Doppler shows blood flow inside a lump, which helps describe it.
IN DETAIL
Private Soft Tissue – Lumps and Bumps Scan
A Soft Tissue – Lumps and Bumps Ultrasound Scan is a specialised, non-invasive imaging test used to assess abnormal growths, lumps, or swellings in the soft tissues of the body. This scan provides detailed images beneath the skin, helping to determine the nature of these masses, whether they are benign (non-cancerous) or show characteristics suggestive of malignancy (cancer). It plays an important role in the early detection of soft tissue cancers and guides further diagnostic steps if needed.
LISTEN TO THE AUDIO SUMMARY
What is a Soft Tissue – Lumps and Bumps Ultrasound Scan?
A soft tissue ultrasound utilises high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of the soft tissues, including muscles, fat, and connective tissue. This scan is particularly useful for examining:
- Lumps and Bumps: Any abnormal growths or masses that have developed in the soft tissues.
- Cysts: Fluid-filled sacs that can form in various locations in the body.
- Lipomas: Benign tumours composed of fatty tissue.
- Abscesses: Collections of pus that may be caused by infections.
- Soft Tissue Tumours: Both benign and malignant tumours that require further evaluation.
