SHOULDER JOINT INJECTION TECHNIQUE
During an ultrasound-guided injection, you will lie or sit down on a table, depending on the site of the injection. A clear water-based conducting gel is applied over the skin to assist with the transmission of the sound waves. Your doctor moves a hand-held probe, called a transducer, over the targeted area. The transducer emits sound waves and detects the rebound echoes from the tissue. Real-time images are created from these sound waves and can be viewed on the video display screen attached to the scanner. The waves provide a clear view of the targeted area and help your doctor locate the correct site for injection. The path the needle takes can be viewed by the images created by the ultrasound, which guides your doctor to accurately target the problem area. The medication is then injected.
