Diagnosis/Staging
Clinical challenges
Perform an accurate diagnosis and staging of a musculoskeletal condition is key to implement the best therapy and hopefully have a quick recovery of the patient.
Solutions
With the benefit of high-resolution B-Mode imaging, new Flow Modes being even more sensitive, and a portfolio of specialty probes, dynamic Ultrasound become the elected modality in the evaluation of ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves in the extremities. Advanced solutions as Elastography and Flow Quantification can also provide functional information and impact on the choice of the best treatment. The more focused the clinical question is, the more beneficial MSK US are in clinical practice.

High B-Mode Image Quality is the key feature in MSK ultrasound driving diagnostic confidence, especially with tendon tears, peripheral neuropathies or ligament disruptions. The benefit of high-resolution imaging with an extended bandwidth is ideal for the study of a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. Advanced SRI and imaging processing techniques increase even further contrast and spatial resolution.

Early vascular evaluatios with Flow Modes
New Flow Modes, as MVI with Radiantflow™, are able to detect and display micro vessels and show their interconnection in a tissue. These techniques help in the study of tissue vascularity as in the assessment of potential inflammatory conditions (e.g. in rheumatology) potentially allowing an earlier staging of the disease process.

Clinical challenges
Ultrasound are an ideal modality for image-guided MSK interventions, from planning to guidance. Techniques particularly pertinent to sports medicine include tendon fenestration/prolotherapy for the treatment of tendinopathy, injection of muscle tears, and perineural interventions, including hydro dissection.
Solutions
An advanced feature increasing the procedure confidence and success is B-Steer+, a technique enhancing the Needle visualization during the biopsy. Other invasive procedures include US image-guided biopsy of bone lesions, biopsy of MSK soft tissue masses and evaluation of MSK injury. Fusion imaging can be utilized in sacroiliac and facet joint injections, with additional confidence thanks to Needle Tip Tracking techniques. This could be particularly beneficial in young patients with inflammatory arthropathy, reducing the exposure to ionizing radiation.
Enhanced needle visualization with B-Steer+
In invasive procedures, B-Steer+ enhances needle visualization in real time, improving confidence during the procedure and saving time during biopsies and joint injections.
