Dear Ultrasound Insider,
Medial epicondylitis -- or golfer's elbow -- is often initially diagnosed by physical exam, but ultrasound is used to confirm the condition and assess the extent of the injury. At the recent RSNA 2017 meeting, researchers from South Korea presented findings that suggest real-time sonoelastography is even more effective for this purpose than grayscale sonography -- while, of course, maintaining the modality's well-known benefits of reliability and cost-effectiveness.
