The use of CEUS in musculoskeletal applications has expanded in both adults and children, with various applications such as detecting inflammatory joint diseases, imaging muscle and tendon perfusion, evaluating malignant potential of soft-tissue masses, and aiding in the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric hip diseases. Quantitative CEUS measurements of blood flow imaging parameters are crucial for monitoring treatment outcomes.
The increasing use of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has opened exciting new frontiers for musculoskeletal applications in adults and children. The most common musculoskeletal-related CEUS applications in adults are for detecting inflammatory joint diseases, imaging skeletal muscles and tendon perfusion, imaging postoperative viability of osseous and osseocutaneous tissue flaps, and evaluating the malignant potential of soft-tissue masses. Pediatric musculoskeletal-related CEUS has been applied for imaging juvenile idiopathic arthritis and Legg-Calve-Perthes disease and for evaluating femoral head perfusion following surgical hip reduction in children with developmental hip dysplasia. CEUS can improve visualization of the capillary network in superficial and deep tissues and also in states of slow- or low-volume blood flow. In addition, measurements of blood flow imaging parameters performed by quantitative CEUS are valuable when monitoring the outcome of treatment interventions. In this review article we present current experience regarding a wide range of CEUS applications in musculoskeletal conditions in adults and children, with emphasis on the latter, and discuss imaging techniques and CEUS findings in musculoskeletal applications.
