: 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. : Moves beyond visualization to predict function by

Recent advances focus on treating tissues directly with high precision, often as alternatives to major surgery. 3. Regenerative Medicine (Orthobiologics)

: 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.

: Real-time visualization of muscles and tendons during movement allows for immediate functional assessment and more accurate guided injections. 3. Regenerative Medicine (Orthobiologics)
