Description
High-resolution musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound provides clinicians with detailed visualization of tendons, joints, ligaments, and superficial structures, helping improve diagnostic confidence and patient management.
In this expert interview, Prof. Jean-Baptiste Pialat, radiologist and MSK imaging specialist at Hospices Civils de Lyon, shares how he uses the Philips EPIQ Elite Elevate ultrasound system and Philips ML26 26 MHz probe in daily practice.
Topics discussed include:
- High-resolution MSK ultrasound imaging
- Tendon and joint assessment
- Sports medicine applications
- Ultrasound-guided interventions
- Workflow efficiency with a single high-frequency probe
- Combining ultrasound and conventional radiography
Prof. Pialat explains how advances in ultrasound technology have transformed musculoskeletal imaging, enabling clinicians to visualize subtle findings that previously required additional imaging studies.
The discussion highlights how the Philips ML26 probe supports detailed superficial imaging while maintaining visualization at greater depths, helping streamline MSK workflows.
