Musculoskeletal ultrasonography (MSUS) is currently used in daily medical practice, as an extension of the clinical examination. The development of training programmes for MSUS has increased the interest of physicians from different specialties in performing this exploration. We realized a survey in order to describe the current practice of MSUS in Romania, as well as determining physicians' preferences for MSUS training implementation.
In 2010, 196 questionnaires were completed and returned at two congresses in Romania.
Most of the participants were rheumatologists and radiologists, followed by physical medicine and rehabilitation doctors, internal medicine doctors, general practitioners and other specialists. 41% of respondents practice MSUS themselves. Doctors use MSUS as a diagnostic tool (95%) and for monitoring diseases (75%). Lack of training and lack of MSUS competence were the main reasons for not performing MSUS. The respondents expressed their preference for future training to be via a programme of regular, intensive courses and active participation in clinics where MSUS is performed. Most of the participants consider mentoring the assessement method of choice.
The majority of participants in this survey use MSUS in the management of their patients. The results indicate participants' preferences on how training should be delivered in the future.
肌肉骨骼超声检查（MSUS）目前作为临床检查的一种扩展手段应用于日常医疗实践中。MSUS培训项目的开展提高了不同专业医生进行此项检查的兴趣。我们开展了一项调查，以描述罗马尼亚目前MSUS的应用情况，并确定医生对实施MSUS培训的偏好。
2010年，在罗马尼亚的两次大会上共完成并回收了196份问卷。
大多数参与者是风湿病学家和放射科医生，其次是物理医学与康复医生、内科医生、全科医生和其他专科医生。41%的受访者自己开展MSUS检查。医生将MSUS用作诊断工具（95%）和监测疾病（75%）。缺乏培训和MSUS技能不足是未开展MSUS检查的主要原因。受访者表示倾向于未来通过定期强化课程和积极参与开展MSUS检查的临床实践进行培训。大多数参与者认为指导是首选的评估方法。
本次调查的大多数参与者在患者管理中使用MSUS。结果表明了参与者对未来培训方式的偏好。
