: Moves beyond visualization to predict function by measuring tissue stiffness. It is increasingly used to grade muscle elasticity in conditions like cerebral palsy or chronic back pain numerically.
: Infiltrating large volumes of saline (sometimes with local anaesthetic or corticosteroids) around tendons to remove adhesions and neovascularisation in chronic Achilles or patellar tendinopathy. 2. Advanced Diagnostic & Interventional Imaging Advanced Techniques in Musculoskeletal Medicine...

: Repetitive needle insertion into abnormal tendon fibers under ultrasound guidance to restart healing in chronic conditions. Recent advances focus on treating tissues directly with
Recent advances focus on treating tissues directly with high precision, often as alternatives to major surgery.
: Applies a non-thermal galvanic current through an ultrasound-guided needle into degenerated tissue. This triggers an acute inflammatory response that activates self-repair mechanisms, particularly for chronic tendinopathies.
: An advanced Doppler technique that visualises capillary-level blood flow without contrast agents. It is critical for early detection of active synovitis in arthritis or neoangiogenesis in tumors.
