Overview

Ultrasonography may be a useful tool for confirming the diagnosis of bursitis. On ultrasound, bursitis may be characterized by bursal wall distention with the presence of local hypoechoic or anechoic intra-bursal material, synovial proliferation, calcifications, and rheumatoid nodules.^[1]^[2]

Ultrasound

Ultrasonography may be a useful tool for diagnosing of bursitis. On ultrasound, bursitis may be characterized by:^[1]^[2]

Bursal wall distension with presence of local hypoechoic or anechoic intra-bursal material
Synovial proliferation
Loose bodies (bony or cartilaginous)
Calcifications
Rheumatoid nodules
Gout tophi
Hyperaemia
