Abstract

The second part of the Guidelines and Recommendations for Musculoskeletal Ultrasound (MSUS), produced under the auspices of EFSUMB, following the same methodology as for Part 1, provides information and recommendations on the use of this imaging modality for joint pathology, pediatric applications, and musculoskeletal ultrasound-guided procedures. Clinical application, practical points, limitations, and artifacts are described and discussed for every joint or procedure. The document is intended to guide clinical users in their daily practice.

Zusammenfassung

Der zweite Teil der Leitlinien und Empfehlungen für den muskuloskelettalen Ultraschall (MSUS), der unter der Schirmherrschaft der EFSUMB erstellt wurde, folgt der gleichen Methodik wie Teil 1 und enthält Informationen und Empfehlungen zum Einsatz dieses bildgebenden Verfahrens in der Gelenkpathologie, bei pädiatrischen Anwendungen und bei muskuloskelettalen ultraschallgeführten Verfahren. Klinische Anwendung, praktische Aspekte, Limitationen und Artefakte werden für jedes Gelenk oder Verfahren beschrieben und diskutiert. Dieses Dokument soll den klinischen Anwendern in ihrer täglichen Praxis als Leitfaden dienen.
