Conditions

Bone Injuries, Muscle Injuries, Tendon Injuries

Brief summary

Determine if volume imaging can diagnose bone, ligament, muscle injuries.

Detailed description

The investigators are attempting to determine if Volume imaging (a new type of ultrasound imaging)can accurately diagnose injuries of the muscle ligaments, tendons and bones when compared to conventional ultrasound imaging.

Interventions

PROCEDUREUltrasound Scan

Subject will be required to lie flat for no longer than 3 minutes to complete a volume imaging ultrasound scan of the injured area. Following the volume imaging scan a conventional ultrasound scan will be completed as ordered by their clinician.

DEVICEUltrasound Scan using a General Electric Ultrasound Scanner Model Logiq E9 (model name).

The subject will be required to lie flat for approximately 5 to 10 minutes to complete a conventional ultrasound scan to x-ray the muscle and tendon injuries.

Accuracy of 3D Ultrasound Scanning Expressed as Percent Correlation Between Images From Conventional Ultrasound and Volume Imaging

Both ultrasound and volume imaging scans were done on the same day. For all scanned patients, the ultrasound technologist took a volume of images focusing where the patient had symptoms. The study PI reviewed the images, then went back in to do second scan. It took 5 to 10 minutes to complete a conventional ultrasound scan and up to 3 minutes to complete a volume imaging ultrasound scan.

Time frame: Up to 13 minutes
