MSK US is also a useful tool in the evaluation of soft tissue injuries, such as muscle strains and tears, ligament sprains, and tendonitis. MSK US can detect changes in muscle architecture, including muscle atrophy, hypertrophy, and fibrosis. It can also detect tears in tendons and ligaments, as well as inflammation in the surrounding tissues.
MSK US is also used in the evaluation of nerve entrapment syndromes. It can identify nerve compression, swelling, and inflammation, and provide guidance for injections or other interventional procedures. MSK US is particularly useful in the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome, where it can visualize the median nerve, flexor retinaculum, and surrounding soft tissues.
In addition to its diagnostic role, MSK US is also used for interventional procedures, including joint and soft tissue injections, aspirations, and biopsies. It offers real-time visualization, allowing accurate placement of the needle, and reducing the risk of complications.
MSK US has several advantages over other imaging modalities. It is less expensive than magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) scans, and it does not expose the patient to ionizing radiation. MSK US is also portable and can be performed at the bedside or in the clinic, making it a useful tool for monitoring disease progression and response to treatment.
