sunshine1 Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Is there a place locally vs. going into Guad to have an ultrasound done on the knee... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 I was sent to Guadalajara two weeks ago for an ultrasound by Dr. Garcia of Maskaras Clinic. I know that the new Hospital that Maskaras Clinic is building already has an MRI and will have other equipment perhaps to include an Ultrasound machine. They are scheduled to open next month.

Jreboll Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Rather hard to get good views with an ultrasound because bone doesn’t allow penetration of sound waves. You might get a better diagnosis with an MRI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bisbee Gal Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 I was sent to Guadalajara by Mascaras for a Doppler Ultrasound of my leg (looking for a blood clot) last year. It depends on what the doctor is looking for in the OP's knee area, as to what test they need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jreboll Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 If you’re looking for a clot or an obstruction you do a large area since you don’t know where it might be. Since he specified the knee I assumed it was a bone, ligament or cartiledge problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geeser Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 There is an imaging clinic in Chapala that does ultrasounds. Had one on my late gallbladder 4 years ago there. Dr Lastra gave me directions and I took the results back to him. UNDIMA lab in Chapala at Zaragoza #361 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jreboll Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 Ultrasound is done for soft tissue viewing such as abdominal organs, vascular and cardiac. Also thyroid, eye ball and prostate. Bone and air pockets impede ultrasound viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
