Ultrasonography

Ultrasonography

Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.
During an ultrasonography procedure, a handheld device called a...

Imaging Studies III: Computed Tomography

DefinitionComputed Tomography (CT) of the genitourinary (GU) tract is a non-invasive imaging modality that utilizes X-rays and computer processing to generate detailed cross-sectional images of the urinary system, encompassing the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and adjacent structures such as the adrenal glands.PurposeCT scans of the GU tract serve several diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, including:Diagnosis of Urinary Tract Diseases: Detects kidney stones, tumors, cysts, and congenital...

Summary

Injuries to the Achilles tendon, the body's largest, are common. This review details imaging findings for normal and diseased Achilles tendons, aiding diagnosis.

Area of Science:

Orthopedics
Radiology
Sports Medicine

Background:

The Achilles tendon is crucial for mobility but prone to injury.
Tendon degeneration and paratenonitis are common conditions affecting the Achilles.
Various diseases can impact the Achilles tendon, presenting with diverse imaging features.

Purpose of the Study:

To provide a comprehensive pictorial review of Achilles tendon pathology.
To correlate imaging findings with specific Achilles tendon diseases.
To enhance diagnostic accuracy through understanding imaging appearances.

Main Methods:

Review of radiographic imaging.
Analysis of computed tomographic (CT) scans.
Evaluation of ultrasonographic (US) examinations.
