Reviewing published articles on musculoskeletal ultrasound can keep you updated on the latest research and developments, identify areas for future research, and broaden your knowledge and understanding of the field. This can be helpful for clinical practice and continuing education.
Here are some of the most interesting articles in January 2023.
1. Application of deep learning algorithms in automatic sonographic localization and segmentation of the median nerve: A systematic review and meta-analysis
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.artmed.2023.102496
A systematic review and meta-analysis found that deep learning algorithms can accurately and precisely assess the median nerve at the carpal tunnel level in ultrasound images for diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome. Further research is needed to validate the performance of these algorithms for the entire length of the nerve and with ultrasound images from different manufacturers.
2. An Update on Clinical Utility of Musculoskeletal Ultrasonography in Knee Osteoarthritis
https://doi.org/10.1002/jum.16176
Accurately evaluating the extent of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is crucial in order for orthopedic surgeons to choose the best treatment options and measure the effects of these treatments. Musculoskeletal ultrasonography (MSUS) has been found to be a useful tool in detecting abnormalities in KOA such as inflammation, bony growths, and cartilage damage. Additionally, MSUS can monitor the response to different therapies and assist in determining the necessary diagnostic and treatment procedures. As ultrasonic technology continues to improve, MSUS is expected to become increasingly helpful in managing KOA.
