Sonography is widely known as an accurate imaging tool for assessment of the rotator cuff of the shoulder, the long head of the biceps tendon, and joint disorders, but it is rarely performed to evaluate the coracoid process and the adjacent soft tissues. Nevertheless, sonography can show anatomic details of this region and be used to assess several pathologic conditions. The aims of this pictorial essay are to briefly review the anatomy of the coracoid process region, describe examination technique and normal sonographic appearances, and present the sonographic findings of the main disorders affecting this region.
超声检查作为一种准确的成像工具，广泛应用于评估肩部的肩袖、肱二头肌长头肌腱和关节疾病，但很少用于评估喙突及其相邻软组织。尽管如此，超声检查仍可显示该区域的解剖细节，并用于评估多种病理状况。本文的目的是简要回顾喙突区域的解剖结构，描述检查技术及正常超声表现，并展示影响该区域的主要疾病的超声检查结果。
