Combined imaging approach of medial elbow pain using ultrasound and MRI imaging.
A comparative study of 144 baseball players with medial elbow pain evaluated the diagnostic efficacy of ultrasound (US) and MR arthrogram, using surgical and arthroscopic findings as the gold standard.
Diagnostic Accuracy of Ultrasound for Rotator Cuff Tears.
A meta-analysis of 23 studies (2,054 shoulders) confirms that ultrasound (US) is comparable to MRI in diagnostic performance, though results are highly operator-dependent.
Efficacy of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Interventions for Plantar Fasciitis
This systematic review of 96 reviews establishes that ultrasound remains the gold standard for diagnosis, specifically when the plantar fascia measures thicker than 4.0 mm.
Diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound as an adjunct to electrodiagnostic studies for carpal tunnel syndrome.
A 2025 meta-analysis in HAND concludes that neuromuscular ultrasound (US) and electrodiagnostic (EDX) studies possess statistically equivalent accuracy for confirming carpal tunnel syndrome.
Diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound combined with electrodiagnostic studies for carpal tunnel syndrome.
This 2024 study of 96 wrists demonstrated a significant correlation between ultrasound findings and electrodiagnostic severity, showing that median nerve cross-sectional area (CSA) and wrist-to-forearm ratio (WFR) increase as carpal tunnel syndrome worsens.
