The Role of Ultrasound in Sports Medicine

  • Chapter
  • 2469 Accesses

Abstract

The use of ultrasound in musculoskeletal imaging and, in particular, sports medicine has dramatically increased with the technical advances of the last 20 years. These improvements allow detailed evaluation of the structures of the musculoskeletal system including tendons, ligaments, muscles, nerves, joints, cartilage, and bursae. In addition to its wide availability, portability, and lower cost, the greatest advantages of ultrasound, particularly in the musculoskeletal system, are the ability to perform dynamic imaging as well as the opportunity to interact with the patient and correlate symptoms with sonographic findings. The real-time nature of ultrasound provides a unique evaluation of structures in their dynamic state, thereby identifying pathology that may be demonstrated only when the patient performs certain motions.
