In the past years, ultrasound imaging has become an integral element of the diagnostic process in rheumatic diseases. It enables the identification of a range of inflammatory changes in joint cavities, sheaths and bursae, and allows their activity to be assessed. In 2012, experts of the European Society of Musculoskeletal Radiology prepared recommendations concerning the role of ultrasonography...
PURPOSE Plantar plate injuries have been identified as a cause of forefoot pain and deformity. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and musculoskeletal ultrasound (US) have been suggested as appropriate imaging modalities for this pathology. A comparison of these two modalities utilizing intra-operatively pathology as the reference standard has not been published. METHODOLOGY 51 feet of 42 consec...
BACKGROUND In daily rheumatology clinical practice, routine interventional musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) guided maneuvers such as aspiration, intraarticular or periarticular drug injections require efficient cleaning and disinfection methods for both transducer and patient's skin. AIM To study the efficacy of probe and skin disinfection measures after using simple protocols, to identify t...
BACKGROUND Myofascial pain is defined as pain that originates from myofascial trigger points in skeletal muscle. It is prevalent in regional musculoskeletal pain syndromes, either alone or in combination with other pain generators. The myofascial pain syndrome is one of the largest groups of under diagnosed and under treated medical problems encountered in clinical practice. Trigger points are ...
Ultrasound (US) has great potential as an outcome in rheumatoid arthritis trials for detecting bone erosions, synovitis, tendon disease, and enthesopathy. It has a number of distinct advantages over magnetic resonance imaging, including good patient tolerability and ability to scan multiple joints in a short period of time. However, there are scarce data regarding its validity, reproducibility,...
Acknowledgements Foremost, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my supervisor Prof. Filippo Molinari for the continuous support in this work, for his patience, motivation and knowledge. His guidance helped me in all the time of research and writing of this thesis. My sincere thanks also goes to Dr. Caresio, for their enthusiastic support and guidance through every step of this projec...
We present a robust methodology to quantify displacements in musculoskeletal ultrasound sequences. This paper extends the principles of 2D interframe displacements produced by our earlier work using hierarchical variable block size matching, to quantify displacement trajectories. We provide novel solutions for probe motion, quantification of objects moving in the 3D volume traversing the 2D pla...
The evolution of musculoskeletal ultrasound as a tool in the daily practice of the rheumatologist has been astounding. Its benefits include relative lack of expense and the capability to carry out dynamic joint assessment 1. Whereas plain radiographs demonstrate established bony damage, ultrasound can highlight ongoing synovial inflammation, nonradiographic bony erosion and soft tissue patholog...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Therapeutic ultrasound is one of the most widely and frequently used electrophysical agents. Despite over 60 years of clinical use, the effectiveness of ultrasound for treating people with pain, musculoskeletal injuries, and soft tissue lesions remains questionable. This article presents a systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in which ultrasound was us...
