“…After measurement of serum and SF concentrations, we analyzed the relationship of the concentrations with clinical, radiographic and ultrasonographic findings. While the radiographic KL grading system provides osteophytes and joint space, ultrasonography is useful for evaluating synovial inflammation, change of articular cartilage, parts of the meniscus, ligament or tendon lesions as well as bony changes . Moreover, ultrasonography can provide useful information on soft tissues and cartilage involvement in early osteoarthritis with minimal symptoms .…”

“…In fact, volumetric images provide infinite sets of data, depicting single anatomic structures and their involvement in OA in the finest details and rectifying problems related to the operator dependency on the acquisition process. This revolutionary US technique seems to show some of the most promising results in OA, particularly by its possibility to detect synovial proliferation and hypervascularity by using power Doppler [62,64].…”

Ultrasound (US) is a valuable tool for imaging musculoskeletal changes in osteoarthritis. It shows early and late findings related to inflammation and structural damage. Sonography is a safe tool, which has recently registered an increasing and widespread use, it being considered as a bedside procedure in the clinical assessment of rheumatic patients. Its applications in osteoarthritis are related to easy accessibility of equipment, low cost, short duration of single examinations and the possibility of performing a multiregional joint evaluation in the same scanning session. Permitting an extensive evaluation of most joint changes present in osteoarthritis, it gives the opportunity to monitor disease progression and perform a follow-up of the response to different local and systemic treatments. US-guided procedures are commonly performed with safety, reliability and optimal patient tolerance. Development in technology and technique with improvement of new research studies will further amplify the diagnostic role of ultrasound in osteoarthritis in the near future. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a heterogeneous condition and an important cause of acquired disability in children. Evidence supports early treatment to prevent future complications. This relies on prompt diagnosis, achieved by a high index of clinical suspicion and supportive evidence, including the detection of joint and or tendon inflammation. Ultrasound is a readily accessible, well-tolerated, safe and accurate modality for assessing joints and the surrounding soft tissues. It can also be used to guide therapy into those joints and tendon sheaths resistant to systemic treatments. Ultrasound imaging is highly operator dependent, and the developing skeleton poses unique challenges in interpretation with sonographic findings that can mimic pathology and vice versa. Ultrasound technology has been rapidly improving and is more accessible than ever before. In this article, we review the normal appearances, highlight potential pitfalls and present the key pathological findings commonly seen in JIA.
