Diagnostic ultrasound and MR has revolutionized musculoskeletal imaging. The focus has been on MR-imaging, but modern, high resolution ultrasound can produce similar results, and in many applications perform even better than MR. Today, ultrasound is the “extended finger” of the clinicians, and the continuous, rapid advances in technology will make the modality even more interesting in the future. The aim of this book is to give an introduction to practical musculoskeletal ultrasound. In pictorial form the book presents ultrasound appearances of normal musculoskeletal structures followed by commonly encountered abnormalities in well-defined standard projections.
