“…Next steps for a wider applicability of LUS in the assessment of SSc-ILD are represented by technique standardisation (definition of the findings to be used, protocols of image acquisition and quantification of findings) and other ‘clinical’ needs (validation in early stages of the disease; evaluation of the optimal timing for diagnosis and follow-up; and minimal significant detectable change). Finally, promising results have been shown in ILD patients (including also SSc) for automatization of the scan evaluation 65,66 and of B-lines quantification. 67…”

Ultrasound has been widely explored in systemic sclerosis in the clinical and research settings. Ultrasound allows a non-invasive and ionising radiation-free ‘window’ into this complex disease and is well-suited to repeated examinations. Ultrasound provides novel insights into the pathogenesis and measurement of disease in systemic sclerosis, including early (preclinical) internal organ involvement. The purpose of this review is to describe the role of ultrasound to foster clinical and research advancements in systemic sclerosis relating to (1) musculoskeletal, (2) digital ulcer, (3) lung disease and (4) skin disease. We also highlight unmet needs which much be addressed for ultrasound to assume a central role in systemic sclerosis clinical care and research.
