High-resolution ultrasound for precision imaging of the fingers
3:45 PM - 4:25 PMAbstract
Utilizing high-frequency transducers, this session explores the intricate anatomy of the fingers, including flexor/extensor tendons, pulleys, digital nerves, and small joints. The lecture will address sonographic hallmarks of pathologies such as tenosynovitis, partial and complete tendon tears, annular pulley injuries, joint effusions, and synovial disorders. Scanning techniques, probe positioning, and clinical correlation for accurate differential diagnosis will also be discussed.
