An Illustrated Tutorial of Musculoskeletal Sonography

1711 usculoskeletal sonography can be a reliable, expedient, and readily accessible alternative to other, more costly, imaging techniques such as MR imaging. Sonography is adaptable to many situations and is not restricted by regimented standardized protocols. The sonographer interacts directly with the patient, allowing flexibility in performing the examination and often resulting in greater diagnostic effectiveness. This is particularly useful for evaluating musculoskeletal masses and infection, or for performing sonographically guided interventions.
