Rheumatic diseases are a heterogeneous group of disorders which often affect the musculoskeletal system. Given the lack of definitive testing, there are limited diagnostic tools at clinicians' disposal. Over the recent decades, ultrasonography has gained widespread use within rheumatology due to its accessibility, safety, and relatively low cost. This review describes the clinical utility of ultrasound as a biomarker in the diagnosis and management of several rheumatic diseases.

风湿性疾病是一组异质性疾病，常累及肌肉骨骼系统。由于缺乏确定性检测方法，临床医生可用的诊断工具有限。在最近几十年里，超声检查因其可及性、安全性和相对较低的成本，在风湿病学领域得到了广泛应用。这篇综述描述了超声作为一种生物标志物在几种风湿性疾病诊断和管理中的临床应用。
