Area of Science:

  • Musculoskeletal Imaging
  • Diagnostic Ultrasound
  • Radiology

Background:

  • High-resolution ultrasound transducers have advanced imaging of superficial musculoskeletal structures.
  • Ultrasound is now a competitive alternative to magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for musculoskeletal assessment.
  • It is the preferred modality for evaluating tendon pathology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the current ultrasound characteristics of normal tendons.
  • To review ultrasound artifacts that can mimic tendon disease.
  • To outline the applications of ultrasound in evaluating various tendon disorders.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on ultrasound for musculoskeletal imaging.
  • Discussion of ultrasound characteristics of normal and abnormal tendons.
  • Analysis of common artifacts and their differentiation from pathology.

Main Results:

  • Ultrasound provides detailed depiction of superficial musculoskeletal structures.
  • Key advantages include dynamic evaluation, low cost, and wide availability.
  • Operator dependency remains a significant disadvantage.

Conclusions:

  • Ultrasound is the imaging modality of choice for tendon pathology evaluation.
  • It is effective for diagnosing tendon tears, tendinitis, tenosynovitis, ganglion cysts, and bursitis.
  • Understanding normal ultrasound characteristics and artifacts is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
