The hip and upper thigh scan we offer at Sonoclinic focuses on analysing the hip joint and upper thigh on one side for various conditions. It is also important in examining the joint, adductor tendons, ligaments, muscles, trochanteric bursae, iliopsoas, and surrounding structures.

Reasons to Consider This Scan

The hip and upper thigh scan may be useful for:

• Identifying possible causes of hip pain.
• Assessing potential injuries.
• Examining tendon inflammation linked to conditions like bursitis.
• Detecting tendinosis.
• Evaluating degenerative changes, including hip effusions, arthritis, and labral tears.

What to Expect

After the scan, you will receive:

• A detailed written report of your results, along with our recommendations for the subsequent steps.
• A report emailed to your GP if medical follow-up is needed.
• Printed copies of your scan images as well as a diagnostic report.

Preparing for Your Scan

Dress in loose-fitting clothing that can be easily shifted to expose the upper thigh and hip. Also, do not schedule this scan if you are currently receiving medical care. Instead, consult your GP about whether a scan is necessary.
