Sonography of the musculoskeletal system
Rheum Dis Clin North Am.
1991 Aug.
Abstract
High-resolution ultrasound is an imaging technique with increasing applications in the musculoskeletal system. With the development of high-frequency, realtime transducers, detailed images of small superficial structures can be provided. Tendons, muscles, and subcutaneous tissues can be assessed for disruption, masses, or fluid collections. Foreign bodies can be localized to guide surgical excision. Increased use of this diagnostic tool may lead to new applications as the technology improves.
