Avances técnicos aplicados a la ecografía musculoesquelética de la lesión deportiva

The new systems integrated into portable ultrasound devices improve visualization of injured tissue. In muscle lesions, definition of areas of bleeding and their contents is improved. In torn muscles, visualization of the injury and hypervascularization is prolonged. In tendon injuries, the size of the lesion and the borders of tendon degeneration are better delineated. The 3D system is able to define calcific deposits inside the tendon fibers with high precision. Scar areas can be seen in ligament lesions.
