Ultrasound clinical solutions for Sports Medicine

Portable ultrasound systems provide fast, high-resolution imaging, allowing athletes’ injuries to be evaluated quickly and accurately. Thanks to real-time visualization of muscles, tendons and joints, clinicians can diagnose, monitor recovery, and guide procedures such as biopsies or injections. Their lightweight design, intuitive interface, and secure connectivity ensure mobility without compromising on diagnostic reliability. These systems seamlessly integrate into sports medicine workflows, offering the precision of traditional platforms and the flexibility of portability. It is an essential solution for sports physicians, physiotherapists, and performance teams seeking speed, accuracy, and efficiency in every clinical decision.

Thanks to the advanced image quality of Esaote’s high-frequency probes, which operate at frequencies of up to 25 MHz, even micro-lesions can be clearly and precisely identified before they evolve into more serious injuries, thus empowering clinicians to stay one step ahead in injury prevention and management. The Very-High Frequency hockey stick probe, IHX 6-25, combines outstanding spatial resolution with advanced ergonomic design to facilitate needle access and perform accurate interventional gestures with millimetric precision.

In sports medicine, Power Doppler allows for accurate evaluation of inflammation and monitoring of healing, particularly in soft tissue and overuse injuries. Esaote’s highly sensitive Power Doppler technology has been designed to optimize visualization of lowflow signals in small, superficial vessels, which are typical of early or low-grade inflammatory processes, thereby supporting accurate diagnoses and tailored follow-up. With the addition of microV technology, Esaote is pushing the boundaries of microvascular imaging, enabling early detection and detailed characterization of musculoskeletal injuries, which is vital for their effective management and for developing faster return-to-play strategies.
