Аннотация
Currently, ultrasound examination (US) is one of the most informative methods of imaging examination. Due to its portability, accessibility, speed of implementation, relatively low cost and almost complete absence of contraindications, ultrasound appears to be an effective method not only for diagnosis, but also for assessing the quality of treatment. This method is highly informative in visualizing the tendon-ligament apparatus, hyaline cartilage, cortical bone and para-articular soft tissue, which significantly expands the diagnostic and treatment capabilities of a rheumatologist and allows monitoring the effectiveness of treatment. This review discusses the possibilities of using ultrasound in the diagnosis of a number of rheumatological diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, spondyloarthritis, gout, and tendon lesions due to hypercholesterolemia. The possibilities of using sonoelastography (a method that allows you to determine the elasticity of soft tissue structures) in the diagnosis of rheumatic diseases are also considered. According to the authors, sonoelastography may soon become firmly established in clinical practice as a first-line diagnostic method for identifying biomechanical changes in tendons, muscles, and ligaments, as well as assessing the effectiveness of treatment. Conducting an ultrasound of the musculoskeletal system significantly increases the diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities of the clinician.
