Sonographic evaluation of joint and periarticular pathology clearly has applications in numerous clinical scenarios, not only for diagnosis but in some situations for US-guided biopsy, aspiration, and injections. It is a rapid, inexpensive technique that with adequate equipment, training, and expertise makes it compelling for use as a first-line imaging modality for the assessment of periarticular masses, localized pain, possible infection, joint swelling, as well as posttraumatic articular and periarticular lesions.
超声对关节及关节周围病变的评估在众多临床场景中显然都有应用，不仅用于诊断，在某些情况下还用于超声引导下的活检、抽吸和注射。它是一种快速、廉价的技术，借助适当的设备、培训和专业知识，使其成为评估关节周围肿块、局部疼痛、可能的感染、关节肿胀以及创伤后关节和关节周围病变的一线成像方式，具有很大吸引力。
