Musculoskeletal Ultrasound in Rheumatological Diseases

Rheumatology has seen a sonographic revolution in recent years. Ultrasonography (US) been demonstrated to be capable of significantly altering the traditional approach most clinical problems daily rheumatologic practice due its ability provide rapid, safe, and inexpensive access anatomical information on early targets majority rheumatic diseases. completes physical examination with speed accuracy enables detection broad range abnormal findings involving various musculoskeletal (MSK) components.
 is mostly used for interventional guidance (joint aspiration, synovial or soft tissue biopsy, joint tendon sheath injection). When fluid collections are very tiny when inflammatory process next structures that might severely harmed by injection, guiding effective.
 MSK US significant imaging modality practicing rheumatologists provides an effective diagnostic tool assessing patients problems. In United States, usage ultrasonography evolved availability less priced, portable equipment give high-quality grayscale power Doppler signals. The American College (ACR) given standardized training courses certification program rheumatologists, similar also offered through number fellowship programs.
 certain circumstances, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) difficult diagnose since crystalline arthropathies can closely resemble RA. For instance, palindromic RA appear articular symptoms that, based history characteristics, mimic disease. This study sought investigate relevance illness diagnosis.
