What is ULTRASOUND WRIST WITH MCP (META CARPAL)?

What does ULTRASOUND WRIST WITH MCP (META CARPAL) measure?
An ultrasound of the wrist and metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints uses sound waves to make live images of the soft tissues and joint surfaces. It shows tendons, ligaments, joint fluid, synovium, and the outer bone surface. This helps detect inflammation, tendon tears, fluid collection, cysts, and some bone erosions. The specific marker measured depends on the test your doctor has ordered. A blood sample is typically drawn from a vein in the arm and processed through NABL-accredited laboratory equipment. Results are compared against established reference ranges for your age and gender.
What do the results of ULTRASOUND WRIST WITH MCP (META CARPAL) mean?
Your doctor will interpret the result in the context of your overall health picture.
