Ultrasound of the Achilles tendon – examination of the Achilles tendon and its attachments

An ultrasound of the Achilles tendon is used to assess the structure, blood circulation and surrounding tissues of the Achilles tendon. The examination is performed by a specialist in radiology and provides detailed images in real time of the condition of the tendon. It can detect any inflammation, ruptures, calcifications or scarring that causes pain or impaired function in the foot.

Please note that the examination refers to one Achilles tendon. If you want to examine both Achilles tendons at the same time, you must first contact us by phone before ordering.

Ultrasound of the Achilles tendon for pain, swelling or stiffness

An ultrasound of the Achilles tendon is recommended if you experience pain, swelling or stiffness in the Achilles tendon that does not go away, especially if the symptoms affect walking, exercise or everyday movements. The examination is used to investigate both acute injuries and chronic overuse disorders.

Unlike MRI, which is mainly used to show internal structures and bones, ultrasound is a good and affordable method for examining tendons and soft tissues. The method allows the doctor to assess both structure and function in real time as the foot moves.

Common symptoms and questions

Pain or swelling along the Achilles tendon or at the attachment to the heel bone.
Suspected tendon inflammation (tendinitis) or overuse injury.
Sudden pain or "snap" in the calf - suspected partial or total rupture.
Calcifications, scar tissue or residual tenderness from a previous injury.
Stiffness in the morning or after rest (typical of chronic tendinopathy).
Difficulty walking on tiptoe or weakness when pushing off.

Conditions that can be detected with ultrasound of the Achilles tendon

Tendinopathy / tendinitis – inflammation or degeneration of the tendon.
Partial or total rupture – rupture of the Achilles tendon.
Paratenonitis – inflammation of the membrane around the tendon.
Calcium deposits – often with chronic overload.
Scar formation or thickening after a previous injury.
Bursitis – inflammation of the bursa at the tendon's attachment to the heel bone.

How an ultrasound of the Achilles tendon is performed

The examination is performed while you are lying or sitting with your foot slightly bent. A gel is applied to the skin to provide optimal contact between the probe and the skin. The doctor moves the ultrasound probe along the Achilles tendon and assesses the structure in both longitudinal and cross-sectional views. If necessary, dynamic movements can be performed to see how the tendon reacts to load.

Report and results

The images are reviewed by a specialist in radiology, who prepares a written medical report. The response is delivered digitally within a few working days and can be shared with your treating doctor or physiotherapist for further follow-up.

The legs support the body's weight and make it possible to stand, walk, run and jump. The largest and strongest bone in the body is the femur, the knee joint is a complex structure that connects the thigh with the lower leg. The lower leg consists of the tibia and fibula, which lead down to the foot - a finely tuned construction that has many small bones and joints.

The foot is designed as an arch that absorbs shock and provides balance to the body. The Achilles tendon connects the calf muscles to the heel bone and is crucial for movement. Several important muscles, joints, ligaments and nerves work together to ensure that the legs function effectively both at rest and in activity. The nails on the toes protect against injury and pressure. Together, the legs constitute the body's most important locomotor apparatus.

The Achilles tendon, or Achilles tendon, is the body's strongest tendon and plays a crucial role in walking, running, and jumping. It connects the calf muscles to the heel bone.

After your order has been completed, we will send a referral for your ultrasound examination. You will receive a phone call from the referring physician at our clinic, who will go through your medical history and current symptoms. After that, your referral will be forwarded to the radiology clinic.

Before an ultrasound examination of the abdomen and other organs, it is important to follow the preparation instructions in the appointment letter you received from the radiology department. For examinations of organs in the upper part of the abdomen (such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and spleen), you will usually need to fast for about 6 hours before the examination.

For other types of ultrasound, such as examinations of the carotid arteries, thyroid gland, or soft tissues, no specific preparation is usually required.

Always bring valid identification and please arrive in good time.

After your ultrasound examination has been performed, the imaging material is reviewed by a radiology specialist. The radiologist assesses the examination based on the question stated in your referral and writes a medical response to the doctor who ordered the examination.

Our referring physician will then review the report and return to you with a written medical assessment and clear guidance on what the results mean for you.

If the ultrasound shows signs of abnormal findings, we will ensure that you receive a referral to an appropriate healthcare provider, if necessary, or receive advice on how to follow up on the examination. This is always included in the price.
