“…Daraus ergeben sich eine hö-here räumliche Auflösung und kleinere Schichtdicken mit einer Verbesserung der Flüssigkeitsdarstellung und des Kontrast-Rausch-Verhältnisses ("contrast to noise ratio", CNR), was von Vorteil für die anatomische Charakterisierung und die Suche nach Läsionen ist.

“…It may also be caused by fractures, dislocations, application of skeletal traction, or a tight cast or bandage around the knee. In many instances, lesions probably result from pressure exerted on the nerve at the level of the fibular neck during sleep or from habitual leg crossing [32,33].…”

KEYWORDSUltrasound; Knee joint; Power Doppler; Synovial.Abstract The aim of this article is to review the sonographic appearances of common disorders involving the knee joint. Ultrasound is a sensitive method for diagnosis of tendon injuries. Injured ligaments appear swollen with mixed echogenicity. Meniscal injuries and muscle tears can be easily diagnosed. Ultrasound shows synovial thickening and effusion in inflammatory arthropathy and erosions of the articular surface in degenerative arthritis. It can be used effectively in the detection of rheumatoid arthritic activity and for grading degenerative arthritis lesions. Cystic lesions, as well as benign and malignant soft-tissue masses, are clearly delineated. Ultrasound is a safe noninvasive imaging modality that can be used for diagnosis of different disorders involving the knee joint.Sommario Lo scopo di questo lavoro è fare una review riguardo l'aspetto ecografico delle patologie più frequenti che coinvolgono il ginocchio. L'ecografia è una metodica sensibile nella diagnosi della patologia tendinea. I legamenti danneggiati appaiono di dimensioni aumentate ad ecostruttura mista. Il danno meniscale e gli strappi muscolari sono facilmente diagnosticabili. L'ecografia è inoltre in grado di documentare l'ispessimento sinoviale ed il versamento nell'artropatia infiammatoria e le erosioni della superficie articolare nelle artriti degenerative. Può essere utile nello stabilire l'attività dell'artrite reumatoide ed il grading nell'artrite degenerativa. Le lesioni cistiche e le masse benigne o maligne dei tessuti molli sono ben documentate. Concludiamo che l'ecografia è una metodica d'imaging sicura e non invasiva che può essere d'aiuto per la diagnosi di diverse patologie del ginocchio. ª

“…Several reports have been published on reference values for the cross-sectional areas of the median and ulnar nerves [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17], with a good agreement among the measurements. On the other hand, data are less abundant concerning normal values for cervical roots, radial nerve, lower limb nerves and pure sensory nerves [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25], and they show more variation among studies. Some studies have reported values for intra-and inter-rater reliability [24][25][26][27], but inter-equipment reliability has not been hitherto addressed.…”

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess different aspects of reliability in high resolution ultrasonography (HRUS) of the peripheral nerves and to establish reference values for the most frequently examined nerve segments. Materials and Methods:A nerve size parameter, the cross-sectional area (CSA) of the C5, C6 and C7 cervical roots, the median, ulnar, radial, superficial radial, peroneal, tibial, and the sural nerves was measured using HRUS at altogether 14 predefined anatomical sites in two different cohorts of healthy subjects (n=56), and the inter-rater, intra-rater and interequipment reliability of measurements was assessed.Results: Mean CSA of the 14 nerve segments ranged from 2 to 10 mm 2 . Intra-rater, inter-rater and inter-equipment reliability was high with intraclass correlation coefficients of 0.93, 0.98, and 0.86, respectively. CSA values showed no consistent correlation with age, height, and body weight, but males had significantly larger values than females for nerve segments on the arm after correcting for age, weight and height in multivariate analysis. CSA values did not differ when two independent cohorts were compared. Conclusion:Peripheral nerve ultrasonography is a reliable and reproducible diagnostic method in the hands of experienced examiners. Normal values for several upper and lower extremity nerves are provided by our study.

Peroneal Nerve Palsy Associated with Knee Luxation: Evaluation by Sonography—Initial Experiences

Abstract: Sonography allows radiologists to visualize neural and extraneural pathology and to define the exact level and extent of lesions. Thus, it may be a valuable adjunct in the decision of whether surgical intervention is necessary.
