Overview
On ultrasound, bursitis may be characterized by bursal wall distension with presence of local hypoechoic or anechoic intra-bursal material, loose bodies, synovial proliferation, calcifications, and rheumatoid nodules.[1][2]
Ultrasound
On ultrasound, bursitis may be characterized by:] [1][2]
- Bursal wall distension with presence of local hypoechoic or anechoic intra-bursal material
- Distention of the bursa by fluid which appear anechoic or hypoechoic soft tissue
- synovial proliferation
- Loose bodies (Bony or cartilaginous)
- Calcifications
- Rheumatoid nodules
- gout tophi
- Hyperaemia and suggests active inflammation
