This course covers the essential aspects of ultrasound imaging for the Achilles tendon, focusing on its anatomy, common pathologies, and diagnostic techniques. Participants will learn how to effectively identify and measure tendon thickness, detect signs of tendinosis, tendinitis, and tears, and differentiate between various types of Achilles tendon injuries using dynamic and static imaging strategies. Key conditions like calcific tendinitis, bursitis, and Haglund syndrome are discussed with practical imaging protocols, including short-axis (SAX) and long-axis (LAX) views. The course also emphasizes the advantages of ultrasound over MRI in diagnosing Achilles tendon disorders, making it an invaluable resource for musculoskeletal sonographers.
