Normal ultrasonographic picture of the tendons of the hand

Abstract

The potentialities of ultrasonography for the imaging of wrist tendons is shown. Normal sonographic appearance of flexor wrist tendons as well as extensor wrist tendons is given in longitudinal and transverse scanning. The causes of artifacts have been analysed and the methods for their elimination are given. Elaborated protocol and technique of ultrasonographic investigation of wrist tendon at rest and in dynamics under real time condition are presented.
