| Abstract: | Ultrasound (US) has become the most commonly used imaging method to assess musculo-skeletal (MSK) injuries. In addition to the high soft tissue image quality it provides, MSK US has the advantage of providing a rapid mode of evaluation that avoids the use of ionising radiation, allows dynamic assessment and can guide targeted treatment. Use of high quality scanning equipment to diagnose and treat MSK injuries is of the utmost importance. Without the necessary high image resolution, most injuries will be missed. Sonographer experience also has a major influence on diagnostic accuracy. |
