Musculoskeletal ultrasonography aids rheumatologists in physical diagnosis and procedures. While valuable for visualizing joint structures and improving injection accuracy, more research is needed on its diagnostic performance.

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Diagnostic Techniques

Background:

  • Musculoskeletal ultrasonography (MSKUS) supplements physical examination in rheumatology.
  • It visualizes joints, periarticular structures, muscles, and tendons.
  • MSKUS aids in precise diagnostic punctures and therapeutic injections.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the utility of musculoskeletal ultrasonography in rheumatology.
  • To highlight its applications in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
  • To identify areas for future development and research.

Main Methods:

  • Review of musculoskeletal ultrasonography applications in rheumatology.
  • Discussion of visualization capabilities for musculoskeletal structures.

  • Mention of advanced techniques like Doppler and 3D ultrasound.

    • Main Results:

    • MSKUS enhances diagnostic accuracy and procedural precision.
    • Color and power Doppler are specific techniques.
    • Three-dimensional ultrasonography shows promise as a new modality.

    Conclusions:

    • Musculoskeletal ultrasonography is a valuable tool in rheumatology.
    • Further research is needed on validity, reproducibility, sensitivity, and specificity.
    • Guidelines for MSKUS use and indications require further development.
