Abstract:
Objective: To investigate the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) in right-hand ultrasound physicians and identify contributing factors for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) . Methods: From May 2023 to February 2025, 188 ultrasound physicians from 15 hospitals in Heilongjiang Province were surveyed using questionnaires to assess their prevalence of wrist-specific mechanical strain disorders (WMSDs) over the past year. Neurophysiological tests were conducted, and logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors affecting the right carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) . Results: The prevalence of wrist WMSDs among ultrasound physicians was 48.4% (91/188) . Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that age and frequent probe pressure application were associated with 2.14-fold and 4.04-fold increased CTS risk, respectively. Conclusion: Enhance society's attention to the health of noise-exposed physiciansand providing a foundation for implementing targeted interventions.

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
