What Is A Wrist & Hand Ultrasound Scan?
A Wrist & Hand Ultrasound uses high-frequency transducer technology to inspect delicate superficial soft tissue structures including:
- Median nerve swelling (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome)
- 1st Extensor compartment (De Quervain’s tenosynovitis)
- Ganglion cysts & soft tissue lumps
- Flexor tendon pulleys (Trigger Finger)
- Rheumatoid or osteoarthritis joint effusions
Due to the superficial position of tendons, nerves, and ligaments in the hand and wrist, ultra-high-frequency ultrasound provides exceptional clarity—often surpassing MRI for fine tendon sheaths and nerve compression.
Our scan measures the cross-sectional area of the median nerve at the carpal tunnel inlet and checks dynamic finger flexing to confirm trigger digits or tendon tears.
A Wrist & Hand Scan gives instant visual clarity for nerve compressions, painful lumps, and tendon sheath inflammation.

FAQ
Yes, ultrasound measures median nerve swelling and flattening at the carpal tunnel, offering an instant visual confirmation.
If pain, numbness, or lumps affect only one hand/wrist, a Unilateral scan (£90) is sufficient. If you experience symptoms in both hands or wish to compare against your normal side, select a Bilateral scan (£160).
Ultrasound easily distinguishes fluid-filled benign ganglion cysts from solid soft tissue masses and vascular lesions.
No referral is needed. You can self-refer for a private wrist & hand scan directly through our clinic booking system.
No, light gel is applied and the scan probe glides gently over your skin with minimal pressure.
