Overview
Ultrasonography may be a useful tool for confirming the diagnoses of bursitis. On ultrasound, bursitis may be characterized by bursal wall distention with 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
