Description:
Key in MSK ultrasound imaging is familiarity with the detailed anatomy of the muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Each section begins by covering normal anatomy, followed by a ScanLab (or multiple ScanLab modules depending on the area of interest) demonstrating the technique by which to evaluate the sonographic appearance of normal anatomy. The pathomechanism of acute and/or chronic injury or disease is covered in pathology modules with case examples of abnormal sonographic appearance to aid in the recognition of musculoskeletal pathology.

Sections include:

• Basic Biomechanics of Ligaments, Tendons, and Joints
• Soft Tissue Characterization
• Shoulder
• Elbow
• Forearm, Wrist, Hand, and Fingers
• Knee
• Hip
• Lower Leg, Ankle, and Foot
• Interventional Techniques
• Peripheral Nerves
