The knee protocol includes imaging the quadriceps and patellar tendons, medial and lateral collateral ligaments, and the menisci, Supra-patellar pouch/ bursa, femoral trochlea for osteoarthritis and visible cartilage , infra-patellar Sub-Q bursa and fat pad, medial and lateral retinaculum in patellar tracking. Dr. Randy Moore emphasizes the importance of recognizing normal anatomy and using dynamic imaging techniques to assess joint stability and detect pathologies such as tendinosis, ligament injuries, and meniscal tears. Throughout the videos we highlight proper patient positioning, the use of standardized imaging techniques, and the importance of adjusting probe settings to enhance image quality and detail.

Ankle and foot imaging protocols include evaluating the Achilles tendon, plantar fascia, and the lateral and medial ligaments. Providing techniques for detecting conditions such as tendinosis, ligament tears, and plantar fasciitis, tarsal tunnel evaluation including Tibial nerve. We emphasize the importance of patient positioning and the use of dynamic imaging to assess ligament stability and tendon integrity. Proper probe selection and adjustment of settings are critical for visualizing both superficial and deep anatomical structures.

Spine imaging focuses on the lumbar spine, sacroiliac joints, and paraspinal muscles. The protocol includes techniques for identifying disc herniations, facet joint arthritis, and muscle spasms. The instructor discusses the importance of proper patient positioning, probe selection, and image optimization to enhance visualization of spinal structures. This section emphasizes the use of high-frequency probes for superficial structures and the identification of normal anatomy to differentiate between various pathologies.

This video addresses the evaluation of soft tissue masses, including lipomas, cysts, and tumors. Dr. Moore discusses the sonographic characteristics that help distinguish benign from malignant masses, emphasizing the importance of accurate imaging and needle guidance techniques for biopsy procedures. Throughout these videos we provide practical tips for positioning the patient and selecting the appropriate probe settings to enhance visualization of soft tissue structures.

Ultrasound-guided procedures are highlighted in this module, focusing on joint injections, aspirations, and biopsies. Dr. Moore provides step-by-step guidance on needle placement, emphasizing the importance of real-time imaging for accurate and safe interventions. These videos cover various techniques to ensure precise needle guidance, from initial patient positioning to the final confirmation of needle placement, enhancing the effectiveness and safety of ultrasound-guided procedures.

This module explains musculoskeletal problems and how to spot them using ultrasound. It shows how to find tendinosis by looking for more cells, thicker texture, and new blood vessels, and it highlights using Doppler to see unusual blood flow. Throughout this module Dr. Moore talks about issues like tendon tears and impingement, problems such as synovitis and nerve pinching, ganglion cysts and more. It teaches how to use ultrasound to see these problems and helps you see the difference between fluid and tissue growth. It also gives normal sizes for tendons and nerves and explains how to measure for carpal tunnel syndrome. The module stresses using an interpretation method for accurate diagnosis!
