Point-of care ultrasound, or ultrasound performed and interpreted by the clinical in the clinic/office or at the bedside, has been rapidly expanding in use among multiple medical specialties. Musculoskeletal ultrasound has added value to clinical care to expedite diagnoses by visualizing mechanical versus inflammatory features and correlating these findings with patient’s symptoms. The use of power Doppler to assess for subclinical inflammation or active hyperemia has been a distinguishing use of ultrasound for rheumatologists. Accurate needle guidance with ultrasound for joint and tendon procedures has allowed expansion of procedures in the clinic and has been associated with less pain and precise targeting of affected structures. Musculoskeletal ultrasound education is now offered in nearly all rheumatology fellowship training programs in the United States and is also included in residency training in other specialties (e.g. physical medicine and rehabilitation, orthopedics, podiatry, emergency medicine, and family medicine). Since the publication of the first edition of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound in Rheumatology Review, there has been tremendous growth of musculoskeletal ultrasound in the field of rheumatology as well as other musculoskeletal specialties. The expanded second edition of this practical guide provides an updated clinical review of diagnostic and interventional applications of musculoskeletal ultrasound in rheumatology. New and revised chapters focus on the use of ultrasound in the diagnosis of specific rheumatic diseases such as osteoarthritis, scleroderma, psoriatic arthritis, gout, and lupus. Each chapter covers a standardized protocol of joint images with probe placement and includes numerous examples of common ultrasound pathologies. Study tools such as key-concept overviews, lists of important studies in the field, and extensive questions for self-assessment are included throughout. Written by current experts and thought leaders in the rapidly advancing field of rheumatology ultrasound, the second edition of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound in Rheumatology Review is an essential reference for physicians and related professionals, residents, fellows, graduate students and nurses in rheumatology, imaging and radiology, sports medicine, internal medicine, and physiotherapy.

This book provides a comprehensive compilation of musculoskeletal ultrasonography (MSUS) fundamentals in pediatric rheumatology with emphasis on imaging techniques, normal anatomy, approaches towards standardization, and the spectrum of pathologic findings seen in the pediatric population. It examines the techniques and pitfalls of MSUS in pediatrics and compares sonoanatomy in pediatric patients versus adults. Chapters cover a range of anatomical sites, including shoulder and arm, elbow and forearm, wrists and hands, hip and thigh, knee and leg, and ankle and feet. The text also discusses the use of ultrasonography in juvenile inflammatory arthritic conditions and sports-related injuries. Finally, the book concludes with a summary of the recent advances in pediatric musculoskeletal ultrasonography. Featuring contributions from a large international group of leaders in the field, Pediatric Musculoskeletal Ultrasonography is an authoritative reference for pediatric and adult rheumatologists, sonographers, radiologists, physiotherapists, and orthopedic specialists.

Completely revised, this second edition continues like the first, as a ground-breaking comprehensive reference and practical guide on the technology and application of ultrasound to the musculoskeletal system. Fully updated and expanded, Musculoskeletal Ultrasound, is organised into three parts: by tissue type, by areas of special interest, and by site. * Continues as the first authoritative and comprehensive reference on the applications of ultrasound to the musculoskeletal system. * Uses cross-sectional anatomical specimen to correlate with ultrasound scans. * Offers tips on how to get the best scan possible for demonstration of pathology, surgical planning, and determining whether the patient is predisposed to injury and reinjury. * Describes and depicts examination techniques, normal ultrasonographic anatomy, and pathology in the chapters on disease. * Features imaging algorithms for the sonographic evaluation of each joint. * Includes information on examination technique indications, and differential diagnosis in the chapters on sonography of joints. * Covers sonography of pain syndromes following arthoscopy. * Written by the authoritative leaders in the field, internationally recognized within the radiology community, and also the orthopedics and sports medicine communities. Two brand-new chapters will be added: Pathophysiology and Patterns of Disease and Interventional Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Additional coverage of Bone, Bone Healing, and Spine

This book provides an introduction to the role of medical imaging in the diagnosis and management of rheumatologic diseases. It reviews basic radiographic findings of common and rare arthropathies while offering a focused and practical discussion of advanced imaging modalities such as CT, ultrasonography, and MRI. The book begins with a discussion on soft tissue changes, bone and bone density, articular surface changes, and bone alignment. Following this is an examination of the use of advanced imaging modalities including CT, ultrasound, and MRI as well as different disease categories such as inflammatory arthritis, degenerative arthritis, infectious arthritis, and crystalline arthropathy. Subsequent chapters include exercises and case examples for imaging hands and wrists, knees, hips, foot and ankle, shoulder, and the spine. Diagnostic Radiology of Rheumatic Diseases is an essential and practical resource for senior medical students, residents, fellows, and physicians in rheumatology, imaging and radiology, immunology, and internal medicine.

Introductory Guide to Musculoskeletal Ultrasound for the Rheumatologist is a comprehensive compilation of standard rheumatology ultrasound scans. It systematically incorporates normal and pathological sonography findings of various structures and disorders.The format of this book is to present standard scans that cover a whole range of anatomic sites: shoulder, elbow, wrist, fi ngers, hip, knee, ankle, forefoot and toes. Each scan is accompanied by a picture showing the position of the probe, an anatomic drawing, an ultrasound image and an explanation of the ultrasound scan. At the end of each section on an anatomical site, the relevant ultrasound-guided injection procedure is explained.This very readable and well-organized book provides a good introduction to the rapidly growing field of sonography in rheumatology. The authors have succeeded in giving a clear explanation of all the basic steps in performing rheumatology sonography. Therefore this book is a very efficient tool for self-teaching.
