MUSCULOSKELETAL DISORDERS OF THE LOWER LIMB-ULTRASOUND AND MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING CORRELATION
Journal Title: European Journal of Pharmaceutical and Medical Research - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
Background: There have been a number of significant advances in musculoskeletal ultrasound. US can now be considered an important diagnostic tool alongside MRI in imaging of the musculoskeletal system. Aim of the work: correlation between high resolution ultrasound and MRI for diagnostic accuracy in evaluation of musculoskeletal disorders of lower extremities. Patient and Methods: this was done in Dr.Nour Mohamed Khan Hospital as a prospective study in the period from May 2017 to June 2019 The study included 298 patients classified as intra , peri and extra articular and soft tissue Leasions considering inclusion and exclusion criteria with a through clinical evaluation , high- resolution ultrasound and MRI with different modes of imaging. Results: High resolution US was in good agreement with MRI for intra-articular, periarticular and soft tissue masses apart from bony and deep intra-articular structures, eg, bone marrow adema and bony lesions for which MRI is the imaging modality of choice. Conclusion: this work has high light ended the role of high resolution US as an easy, cheap tool of diagnosis for lower extremity musculoskeletal disorders as well as a complementary roles with MRI, the gold standard method for evaluation of MSK disorders.
