Presentation Transcript

  1. Musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound visualizes soft tissues in the shoulder joint. It offers real-time imaging, is cost-effective, and radiation-free. This course covers anatomy, scanning methods, and common pathologies. The global MSK ultrasound market is projected to reach $11.3 billion by 2028, reflecting its growing clinical importance. Introduction to MSK Ultrasound of the Shoulder Joint FG

  2. Humerus, scapula, clavicle form the shoulder frame. • Supraspinatus • Infraspinatus • Teres Minor • Subscapularis Tendons connect muscles; bursae reduce friction. Normal tissues appear hyperechoic with clear fibrillar patterns. Shoulder Joint Anatomy: Key Structures Bony Landmarks Rotator Cuff Muscles Tendons & Bursa Sonographic Appearance

  3. 7-15 MHz linear probes provide high-resolution images. Adjust depth, gain, focus, and Doppler for optimal imaging. Fine-tuning improves visualization of superficial MSK structures. Linear arrays outperform others for detailed soft tissue exams. Ultrasound Transducers and Knobology Transducers Key Settings Image Optimization Proven Technology

  4. Seated with arm in slight external rotation. Place probe over bicipital groove to visualize biceps tendon. Locate biceps and subscapularis tendons and glenohumeral joint. Perform movements to check for impingement and tendon movement. Scanning Techniques: Anterior Approach Patient Positioning Transducer Placement Identifying Structures Dynamic Assessment

  5. Evaluate supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendons for tears. Assess acromioclavicular joint and surrounding bursae. Identify cysts, fluid collections, or masses near tendons. Craniocaudal view effectively detects supraspinatus tendon tears. Scanning Techniques: Posterior and Lateral Approaches Posterior Approach Lateral Approach Fluid & Mass Detection Example

  6. Tendon fibers partially disrupted, causing thinning and fluid. Complete tendon discontinuity with retraction visible sonographically. Look for hypoechoic gaps, tendon retraction, and surrounding fluid. Ultrasound detects tears with 85-95% accuracy. Common Shoulder Pathologies: Rotator Cuff Tears Partial Thickness Tears Full Thickness Tears Sonographic Signs Accuracy

  7. 1 2 3 4 Inflammation causing fluid in bursa, seen as anechoic area. Tendon thickening and irregularity due to overuse or injury. Fluid accumulation in the glenohumeral joint space. Calcium deposits appearing as hyperechoic foci with shadowing. Common Shoulder Pathologies: Other Conditions Subacromial-subdeltoid Bursitis Biceps Tendinopathy Joint Effusion Calcific Tendinitis

  8. Quick bedside diagnosis improves treatment efficiency and outcomes. Ultrasound guidance increases injection accuracy by 30-40%. Advanced courses and resources enhance skills and knowledge. Integrating ultrasound elevates patient care and clinical confidence.
