Musculoskeletal ultrasound

Musculoskeletal ultrasound is a safe and noninvasive imaging technique that is frequently used in rheumatology clinical practice due to its high accuracy and ability to detect soft tissue changes.

In the evaluation of rheumatic diseases, musculoskeletal ultrasound can provide important information about the presence of inflammation, bone erosions, joint effusion, soft tissue changes and other relevant findings. In addition, it can help in the evaluation of disease activity, as well as in the monitoring of response to treatment.

Musculoskeletal ultrasound also has the advantage of being a dynamic imaging technique that allows the physician to assess the movement and function of joints and muscles during the scan in real time.
