PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Injections
Queensland Radiology Specialists provides Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections for joint, tendon, and soft tissue injuries. Performed under CT or ultrasound guidance, PRP injections deliver concentrated growth factors directly to the affected area for targeted healing.
Availability: PRP injections are available at all of our clinic locations.
What Are PRP Injections?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy uses a patient’s own blood, processed to concentrate platelets and growth factors, to promote healing and tissue regeneration.
PRP injections are commonly used to treat:
- Osteoarthritis and joint degeneration
- Tendon injuries, including Achilles, patellar, and rotator cuff tendons
- Ligament sprains
- Chronic muscle injuries or inflammation
CT and ultrasound guidance allow for precise injection into the affected tissue, improving treatment effectiveness and patient outcomes.

What to Expect During a PRP Injection
Before the Procedure
- Bring your referral and any relevant imaging or medical history
- Inform staff of medications, allergies, or bleeding disorders
- Your own blood will be drawn for PRP preparation prior to injection
During the Procedure
- The blood sample is processed to isolate the platelet-rich plasma
- You will lie comfortably while the radiologist uses CT or ultrasound guidance to target the injection site
- Local anaesthetic may be applied to reduce discomfort
- The procedure typically takes 30–45 minutes, including preparation
After the Procedure
- Mild soreness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site may occur
- Most patients can resume light activity immediately, but high-impact activity may be restricted for a few days
Are PRP Injections Safe?
Yes. PRP therapy is minimally invasive, uses your own blood, and is considered safe with a very low risk of complications. CT and ultrasound guidance enhance accuracy and safety.
