Jeremiah W Ray et al. Curr Sports Med Rep. 2020 Dec.

Abstract

The utility of ultrasound in sports medicine is improving the sports medicine physician's ability to rapidly diagnose and treat a multitude of sports related pathologies. In this article, we clearly outline the current status of the evidence in support of using sports ultrasound in the setting of acute ocular injury, evaluation of elevated intracranial pressures, deep venous thrombosis, and soft tissue complaints.
