Course Description/Statement of
Need: The use of musculoskeletal
ultrasound (MSKUS) has increased amongst
rheumatologists in the United States over the
last 5 years, but we still trail Europeans and
others in this regard. MSKUS complements the
physical examination by allowing for superior
visualization of synovitis and erosive changes
compared to conventional radiography, and
provides detail comparable or supplementary
to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This
modality is also less expensive than MRI and
CT scans, without the claustrophobia or other
contraindications, while uniquely providing
dynamic – rather than static – imaging.
A growing body of literature for MSKUS in
RA, gout and other diseases is contributing
significantly to the understanding of diagnostic
and prognostic utility, longitudinal assessment,
and disease remission. Furthermore, scoring

systems focusing on the patient level rather
than individual joint have been developed,
allowing for simplification of exams while
still retaining accuracy and utility. Despite all
of this, relatively few rheumatologists have
received training to use this modality.
Target Audience: Rheumatologists and other
health care professionals working in the field
of rheumatology
Educational Objectives: At the conclusion of
this activity, participants should be able to:
• Compare the efficacy of MSKUS techniques
to conventional radiography and select the
best diagnostic and treatment modalities to
treat their patients
• Demonstrate the correct way to handle the
ultrasound probe and locate and recognize
normal anatomy and pathology in each of the
joints using musculoskeletal ultrasound
• Utilize ultrasound to track needles into
joints and bursae by both indirect and direct
guidance
