WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

• Apply core clinical principles to interpret musculoskeletal ultrasound findings consistently across different anatomical regions.
• Recognize and differentiate tendon and enthesis-related pathologies, including tendinopathies, enthesopathies, and the synovial entheseal complex.
• Identify patterns of inflammatory and degenerative joint disease, including arthritis, erosions, pannus, and intra-articular abnormalities such as loose bodies.
• Distinguish key crystal and deposition diseases on ultrasound, including hydroxyapatite deposition, CPPD, gout, and xanthomas, as well as differentiate calcification types.
• Evaluate common muscle and soft tissue pathologies, including muscle injuries, bleeding, fascial disorders, bursae, and conditions such as rhabdomyolysis and myositis ossificans.
• Recognize bone-related stress and developmental injuries, including stress reactions, fractures, apophyseal injuries, and avulsion injuries.
• Identify less common but critical conditions, including oncologic findings and peripheral nerve pathologies such as compression syndromes and neuralgic amyotrophy.
