Abstract

<b>OBJECTIVE.</b> The purpose of this article is to cover technical advances in musculo-skeletal ultrasound from the viewpoint of the radiologist. <b>CONCLUSION.</b> Among the advances in musculoskeletal ultrasound that we highlight the use of ultrahigh-frequency transducers to visualize ever-finer anatomic detail, the expanding practical clinical applications for microvascular imaging, and the use of elastography to predict function and, possibly, healing potential.
