Recent advances in ultrasound technology and the development of high-resolution ultrasound transducers have enabled detailed depiction of superficial musculoskeletal structures. While in the past considered as complementary to magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, modern ultrasound has clearly become competitive. It is now the imaging modality of choice for evaluating tendon pathology. The major advantages of ultrasound include dynamic evaluation of structures, low cost and wide availability. The main disadvantage is a high degree of operator dependency. This article discusses the current ultrasound characteristics of normal tendon, the artefacts that may mimic tendon disease and reviews the applications of ultrasound to the evaluation of tendon disorders, including tendon tears, tendinitis, tenosynovitis, ganglion cysts and bursitis.
超声技术的最新进展以及高分辨率超声换能器的开发，使得对浅表肌肉骨骼结构的详细描绘成为可能。虽然过去被认为是磁共振成像（MRI）的补充手段，但现代超声显然已具备竞争力。如今，它是评估肌腱病变的首选成像方式。超声的主要优点包括对结构进行动态评估、成本低且易于获得。主要缺点是高度依赖操作人员。本文讨论了正常肌腱的当前超声特征、可能模拟肌腱疾病的伪像，并综述了超声在评估肌腱疾病中的应用，包括肌腱撕裂、肌腱炎、腱鞘炎、腱鞘囊肿和滑囊炎。
