title: Update in Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Research.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Musculoskeletal ultrasound (US) research is expanding due to increased clinical utility of sonography.
  
  
  METHODS
  Clinical review.
  
  
  METHODS
  Level 4.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Ultrasound is widely applied in musculoskeletal imaging and sports medicine. The real-time capabilities and favorable cost profile of US make it ideal for use in diagnosis of musculoskeletal conditions. The enthusiasm for the use of US in musculoskeletal imaging has led to an increase in US research to broaden its applications.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Several recent advances have been made in conventional and novel US imaging techniques, quantitative US imaging, and US-guided interventions.
