UTC imaging is an innovative technique adding new dimensions to diagnostic ultrasound, namely unique 3-D imaging capabilities next to the novel Tissue Characterization properties. As such it can be used for lesion-prone tendons, ligaments and muscles like Achilles, patellar, quadriceps and hamstring.
Insight in the architecture and integrity of the collagenous matrix offered through UTC tissue characterization facilitates staging of lesions which is essential for better choices of fine-tuned treatment options. Being very sensitive, UTC will already detect minimal effects of exercise or interventions within days after changing exercise-level or interventions.
