- UltrasoundThe injured part of your body is then anesthetized with a local anesthetic. The platelet-rich portion of your blood is then injected into your affected area. In some cases, your doctor may use ultrasound guidance for proper needle placement.
- MRIThe symptoms can appear suddenly if it is a result of an injury. In other situations, the pain and stiffness may gradually appear over a period. Typically, avascular necrosis causes pain and restricted range of motion in the joint affected. Your doctor will diagnose the condition using imaging tests such as X-rays, MRI scans and a bone scan that help rule out other causes of joint pain.

- LiposuctionPatients and physicians must be aware that the Lipogems product may respond differently based on the patient, anatomical location, and the health of that location. Most of the research on SVF is currently in noncontrolled trials and in animal studies. The advantage of the procedure is that it is autogenous, meaning that it is from the patient's own body. The disadvantages are the cost and the need for a small liposuction procedure.
