Ultrasound (US) is the primary imaging technique used to evaluate pathologies affecting the tendons, as the use of high frequency probes permits a detailed study of the structure and morphology of the area also during dynamic examinations. The mid-portion of the Achilles tendon is well evaluated both in normal and pathological conditions, such as tendinosis and peritendinitis as well as partial-thickness and full-thickness tears. The role of US is essential to the diagnosis and, therefore, also to treatment planning in major disorders affecting the Achilles tendon. US furthermore allows the clinician to monitor the effectiveness of treatment over time as well as the risk of recurrent rupture after surgery.
超声（US）是用于评估影响肌腱病变的主要成像技术，因为使用高频探头可以在动态检查期间详细研究该区域的结构和形态。跟腱中部在正常和病理情况下都能得到很好的评估，如肌腱病、腱周炎以及部分厚度和全层撕裂。超声在诊断中起着至关重要的作用，因此在影响跟腱的主要疾病的治疗规划中也很重要。此外，超声还能让临床医生长期监测治疗效果以及术后再次断裂的风险。
