Musculoskeletal Ultrasound
The clinic is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including the latest Esaote Mylab Sigma Elite ultrasound machine. Ultrasound is an imaging method used to examine joints, tendons, and other structures of the musculoskeletal system that can be performed quickly and easily during a clinic visit and can aid in early diagnosis and the initiation of treatment. It can reliably provide information that cannot be obtained through a physical examination alone.
The doctor is highly trained, with many years of experience and certification in the use of musculoskeletal ultrasound from the American College of Rheumatology (American College of Rheumatology) as an auxiliary tool in the diagnosis and treatment of rheumatic diseases.
Polarized light microscopy
The clinic is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, including a polarized light microscope (ACCU-scope EXC 400), for the diagnosis of gout, pseudogout, or other forms of arthritis caused by the presence of crystals in the joints. The procedure involves withdrawing a small amount of fluid from the joint and immediately examining the fluid under a microscope.
