During the past four decades, ultrasound has become popular as an imaging modality applied to the musculoskeletal (MSK) system, particularly outside the USA, due to its low cost, accessibility, and lack of ionizing radiation. A basic requirement in performing these examinations is to have a core group of radiologists and ultrasound technologists with expertise in MSK ultrasound. The extent to which ultrasound will be part of the imaging offered by a particular radiology practice or in an academic institution will vary according to expertise, availability, and reimbursements...

OBJECTIVE: Individuals positive for anti-cyclic-peptide-antibodies (anti-CCP) and musculoskeletal complaints (MSK-C) are at risk for developing rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In this study we aimed to investigate factors involved in arthritis progression. METHODS: Anti-CCP2-positive individuals with MSK-C referred to a rheumatologist were recruited. Individuals lacked arthritis at clinical and ultrasound examination and were followed for ≥three years or until clinical arthritis diagnosis...

Accurately diagnosing pectoralis major injuries, particularly in athletes, often presents a challenge for healthcare practitioners. Although pectoralis muscle injuries are relatively uncommon, the diagnosis of a tear may be overlooked without careful screening by a thorough physical examination of both the injured and uninjured sides. While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has traditionally held the gold standard, musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSKUS) has emerged as a viable alternative. This article delves into the power of MSKUS in evaluating and diagnosing pectoralis major injuries, highlighting its dynamic capabilities, real-time visualization, and cost-effectiveness in comparison to MRI...

Also, to compare the overall ultrasound accuracy referenced to MRI. Methods A retrospective data collection for patients with clinically suspected rotator cuff tears who underwent ultrasound from June 2021 - June 2023 was conducted. Patients who also performed MRI for the same shoulder were only included in the study. US and MRI images were evaluated by two MSK radiologists with different experience levels...

Lateral ankle sprains, predominantly involving the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) and calcaneofibular ligament (CFL), constitute a significant portion of sports-related injuries, with a notable rate of recurrence and progression to chronic instability. Precise diagnosis and effective treatment of the ATFL and CFL injuries are crucial in preventing long-term complications.

The acromioclavicular joint (ACJ), a key element in shoulder movement and stability, is prone to various injuries such as sprains, dislocations, and osteoarthritis, typically resulting from physical trauma or wear and tear. Accurate and timely diagnosis is paramount for effective treatment and rehabilitation. Musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound has emerged as a pivotal diagnostic tool due to its ability to visualize soft tissues and provide real-time imaging. This non-invasive tool is also invaluable for monitoring healing progress and the evolution of osteoarthritic changes...

Musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound is an exciting area of growth for pediatric radiology. It is very well suited for pediatrics as it has no radiation, needs no intravenous contrast or sedation, is painless, and parents are present during the exam for comfort. Many diagnoses that are traditionally made with CT and MRI can be confidently made with ultrasound. In fact, ultrasound is often more helpful than MRI in a growing number if indications. Gaining an understanding and appreciation for pediatric MSK ultrasound will give pediatric radiologists a very useful diagnostic tool to benefit their patients...

INTRODUCTION: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is becoming more common as a diagnostic and clinical tool. Some medical schools have incorporated POCUS training in their curriculum. A family medicine clerkship during the third year of undergraduate medical education is appropriate for incorporating musculoskeletal (MSK) education. Musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSKUS) is a potential tool for augmenting this teaching. METHODS: Third-year undergraduate family medicine clerkship students were given prework related to ultrasound physics, terminology, and sonographic appearance of MSK structures...

Musculoskeletal infections in the ER are not an uncommon presentation. The clinical context is critical in determining the suspicion for infection and degree of tissue involvement which can involve all layers from the skin to bones. The location, extent, and severity of clinically suspected infection directly relate to the type of imaging performed. Uncomplicated cellulitis typically does not require any imaging. Localized and superficial infections can mostly be evaluated with ultrasound. If there is a diffuse site (an entire extremity) or suspected deeper involvement (muscle/deep fascia), then CT is accurate in diagnosing, widely available, and performed quickly...

The management of cancer with alternative approaches is a matter of clinical interest worldwide. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) surgery is a noninvasive technique performed under US or MRI guidance. The most studied therapeutic uses of HIFU involve thermal tissue ablation, demonstrating both palliative and curative potential. However, concurrent mechanical bioeffects also provide opportunities in terms of augmented drug delivery and immunosensitization. The safety and efficacy of HIFU integration with current cancer treatment strategies are being actively investigated in managing primary and secondary tumors, including cancers of the breast, prostate, pancreas, liver, kidney, and bone...

Musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound has emerged as a valuable tool for sports physical therapists in the assessment and treatment of various knee pathologies. Its ability to provide high-resolution images of soft tissue and superficial bone surfaces makes it especially useful for sports physical therapists and orthopedic clinicians. Specifically, MSK-ultrasound is increasingly recognized as a potent tool for the assessment of the femoral trochlea. Its non-invasive nature and dynamic imaging capabilities make it particularly suited for visualizing the femoral trochlea, a critical component in knee function and biomechanics...

Because of the increased life expectancy, the aging population can participate in recreational sports activities. The fact that activity is promoted as having a positive effect on mental and physical health is another factor that may contribute to a trend of increased participation in sports activities by middle-aged and older patients. Due to age-related degeneration of tendons, muscles, joints and decreasing Bone Mineral Density, the musculoskeletal (MSK) system in the aging patient is more vulnerable to trauma...

MSK is the most common and impactful symptom of lupus at a population level. It has a variety of different presentations, but joint swelling is often not present despite imaging-proven synovitis. Imaging with US and MRI has been shown to improve detection of inflammation and identify treatment-responsive patients. In contrast, the SLEDAI shows poor sensitivity, specificity, and responsiveness. While BILAG and SLE-DAS are superior, they are still less accurate than imaging. These issues may explain why the evidence for conventional and biologic therapies for MSK lupus is complex...
