Sonography of the foot and ankle offers many advantages. Currently, sonographic evaluation rivals or exceeds MR imaging for evaluation of tendons, joint and bursal pathology, and specific soft tissue pathology. The advantages of sonographic evaluation provide a strong impetus for applying this modality to imaging of foot and ankle pathology. Those who accept the challenge will have an expanded repertoire to offer in the pursuit of efficient and effective patient care.
足部和踝关节超声检查具有诸多优势。目前,在评估肌腱、关节和滑囊病变以及特定软组织病变方面,超声检查可与磁共振成像相媲美甚至超越磁共振成像。超声检查的优势为将这种检查方式应用于足部和踝关节病变的成像提供了强大动力。那些接受这一挑战的人在追求高效且有效的患者护理方面将拥有更多的手段。
