Overview
There are no ultrasound findings specifically associated with bursitis. 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]
