If you're experiencing pain or swelling in your elbow, a specialist Elbow ultrasound in Leicester can provide accurate and swift answers to what may be causing your symptoms.
With 35 years of experience as a Consultant Radiologist, I offer private ultrasound scans at The Health Suite in Leicester, where you will always be scanned by myself, Dr D Kathuria. Elbow ultrasound is a safe way to investigate a wide range of issues, such as tendonitis, tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis), arthritis, and fluid in the joint. If you have suffered an injury or suspect a tear or calcification of your tendons, or want to assess for bursitis, this scan is often the first imaging test of choice.
As a private patient, you benefit from fast appointment times and often same day results, helping to ease uncertainty and get you on the right path to recovery. Whether you are self-referring or coming via your GP, our elbow ultrasound in Leicester is quick, effective, and provides the level of specialist care you deserve.
Preparation for your elbow ultrasound scan
No specific preparation is needed for your elbow ultrasound in Leicester. Simply wear comfortable, loose clothing that allows easy access to your elbow. When you arrive at The Health Suite, I'll explain the process and make sure you feel at ease before the quick, painless examination. You can expect a straightforward, stress-free experience with Dr D Kathuria.

Benefits of an ultrasound scan
- Non-invasive and pain-free
Elbow ultrasound is completely non-invasive and there's no discomfort involved during the scan. - No radiation
Unlike X-rays or CT scans, ultrasound uses sound waves, not ionising radiation, so it's a safe imaging choice for all patients. - Rapid appointment availability
At my Leicester clinic, most elbow ultrasound appointments can be arranged within a few days, helping you avoid lengthy NHS waiting times. - Same day results
I provide same day results in most cases, so you can get answers without unnecessary delays. - Accurate assessment
Ultrasound is highly effective in diagnosing tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, tendon and ligament injuries, arthritis, and fluid collections around the elbow. - Live imaging
The scan allows real-time visualisation of movement and structures inside your elbow, helping to distinguish different causes of pain or swelling. - Personalised care
Every scan is personally performed and interpreted by myself, Dr D Kathuria, ensuring you receive a specialist and accurate diagnosis. - Private and discreet
Enjoy privacy, respect, and reassurance at every stage of your treatment with private ultrasound in Leicester.
Ultrasound technology works by moving a small transducer over your skin, which produces high-frequency sound waves. These are translated into detailed images, providing a clear and immediate view of the soft tissues, tendons, bursae, and joints of the elbow.
