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...

Area of Science:

Orthopedics and Imaging Science

Background:

Osteoarthritis (OA) diagnosis and patient stratification in clinical trials rely heavily on imaging.
Radiography, while standard for OA diagnosis, has limitations in reproducibility and assessing the full disease scope.

Approach:

This review provides an overview of current and emerging imaging modalities for OA assessment.
It details the benefits and limitations of radiography, MRI, ultrasound, and computed tomography (CT).

Key Points:

MRI has transformed OA understanding into a whole-organ disorder, enabling detailed structural and compositional evaluation.
Ultrasound is valuable for assessing synovitis and patellofemoral joint involvement.
Advanced CT, including weight-bearing systems, is increasingly used in research.

Conclusions:

Imaging advances, particularly in MRI, have significantly improved the understanding of OA as a multitissue disease.
Each modality offers unique insights, aiding in comprehensive OA patient management and research stratification.
