Hip ultrasound in Leicester

 

 

 


 

​

 

Hip ultrasound is a safe and reliable imaging technique used to assess the hip joint and the surrounding soft tissues.

As a consultant radiologist with 35 years of experience, I offer specialist hip ultrasound in Leicester, providing accurate diagnoses for both private and referred patients. Whether you are experiencing hip pain, swelling or persistent discomfort, Dr D Kathuria can help determine the underlying cause using state-of-the-art ultrasound equipment.

Common reasons for a hip ultrasound include checking for hip joint effusions (fluid in the hip), identifying tendinitis, and detecting bursitis such as trochanteric or psoas bursitis. It is an excellent method for visualising inflammation, abnormal fluid collection, as well as structural changes in the tendons and bursae around the hip area. For those with snapping hip syndrome or sports-related injuries, a private ultrasound in Leicester gives prompt answers and peace of mind. Most scans can be done the same day with results typically available before you leave the clinic.
