INTRODUCTION: Why MSK US? US plays a role in OB, ER, Cardiology, GI, etc
MSK US
Expanding role in US
Widely used in other countries
Improved technology
Diagnostic & therapeutic

How Does It Work? US = imaging using sound waves
Piezoelectricity
Electricity generates a sound wave
Sound Wave Beam is….
Absorbed
Transmitted
Reflection
Detection
Processing

How Does It Work? Frequency-Resolution
Lower frequency: deeper structures
Higher frequency: superficial structures, better resolution
Higher resolution (> 14 mghz)
Fraction of a millimeter

NORMAL MSK ANATOMY Tendons
Hyperechoic & fiber-like, longitudinal
Muscles Hypoechoic, but separated with hyperechoic septa
Ligaments Like tendons, but more compact
Connect to two bones together
Nerves “Starry night” or “honeycombed” appearance:
transverse
May appear like tendons in longitudinal axis

US ARTIFACTS: ANISOTROPY Definition
Anisotropy is the property of being directionally dependent, as opposed to isotropy, which implies homogeneity in all directions.
Occurs when us beam is not directly perpendicular to the tendon/ligament/muscle being imaged
Can give hypoechoic appearance; suggesting injury
Tips Heel & toe the probe
Image in longitudinal & transverse
Orient probe perpendicular to the structure
