10 Chapter 1
Many ultrasound machines have the ability to employ chroma tints, which allow for color-
coding of the grayscale image hues using a variety of colors, such as red, sepia, and others. Because the human eye has greater ability to perceive different shades of color rather than various shades of gray, use of chroma mapping allows for better visualization of subtler soft tissue details. In the musculoskeletal system, this is most useful in the evaluation of soft tissue masses (eg, vascular malformations, neuromas) and nerves (Figure 1-13).

Because ultrasound has a FOV, this limits evaluation of larger structures and their relationships
with the surrounding tissues. Extended FOV imaging allows the FOV to be enlarged by creating a panoramic image. This is achieved by moving the transducer over the structure of interest with the generation of multiple sequential images, which are combined to create the extended view without loss of image quality (Figure 1-14).

Introduction to Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Imaging 11
DOPPLER IMAGING
The most commonly used forms of Doppler imaging are color and power. Doppler imaging employs the concept of the Doppler effect, which describes the change in frequency of the sound wave as the object (source) moves toward or away from the receiver (transducer). The amount of the change in frequency is known as the Doppler shift. The amount of this shift is dictated by the speed of the movement of the source. By measuring this change, the speed of the source can be determined. The most common use of Doppler in musculoskeletal imaging is to determine the presence of blood flow in the structure of interest, such as in a soft tissue mass, and occasionally the direction or type of flow (eg, within vascular malformations).
Color-flow Doppler creates a 2-dimensional image superimposed on the grayscale image, where information about the Doppler shift is assigned a color (red or blue) to indicate the direction of flow (ie, blood flowing toward or away from the transducer, respectively). This technique does not allow for the measurement of the velocity of blood flow (Figure 1-15). power Doppler, results in the measurement of the strength of the Doppler signal emanating from the sample volume of blood evaluated. The image is created in a similar manner to the color-flow Doppler image, but instead assigns color based on the strength of the Doppler signal. Because the power mode is more sensitive than conventional color Doppler, it can detect significantly lower flow. Because detecting the mere presence of flow is generally more important in most musculo­skeletal cases than assessing the direction of flow (unlike in abdominal imaging), power Doppler is used more frequently (Figure 1-16). Power Doppler is also not subject to aliasing artifact, a result of undersampling.

12 Chapter 1
Pulsed-wave or duplex Doppler allows for the measurement of the velocity of blood flow within
a single sample volume by using short pulses of sound waves as opposed to the continuous sound waves generally used in standard Doppler ultrasound imaging. The information may then be dis­played graphically as a spectral waveform.

The median nerve (yellow) is the most superficial structure just beneath the flexor retinaculum. Flexor tendons lie underneath the median nerve. The floor of the carpal tunnel is formed by carpal bones (brown). (conti nued)

keeping the nerve in focus, rotate the probe 90 degrees to see the LX view of the median nerve (Figures 2-2 through 2-4).

3. Relevant anatomy: From superficial to deep, structures in the carpal tunnel are arranged in
the order of skin, subcutaneous layer, flexor retinaculum (roof of the carpal tunnel), median nerve, flexor tendons, and carpal bones (floor of the carpal tunnel).
4. Points to remember: A cross-sectional area of median nerve more than 10 mm
the pisiform is considered abnormal.

at the level of
Median nerve mobility in the carpal tunnel can be assessed with dynamic examination as the patient flexes and extends the fingers and wrist. Median nerve mobility is negatively cor­related with severity of the carpal tunnel syndrome.
2,3
Subsynovial connective tissue, which appears as a hypoechoic nonmoving layer surround­ing the flexor tendons under the flexor retinaculum, is thicker in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome than in normal healthy controls (Figure 2-5).

Figure 2-5. Subsynovial connective
tissue is a hypoechoic interface (between cursors) bound by the hyperechoic thin boundaries between the nerve on top and flexor tendons below.
Anomalies are common in the wrist. Some of the anomalies that may be present in wrist scans are bifid median nerve, persistent median artery, anomalous muscle of forearm in carpal tunnel (eg, flexor digitorum superficialis [FDS]), anomalous muscle of hand in carpal tunnel (eg, lumbrical muscle), and reverse palmaris longus (rare).

Sonoelastography is a newer area in ultrasound where stiffness of the structure is assessed. It has been reported that stiffness of the intracarpal tunnel structures in carpal tunnel syn­drome is higher than in the healthy controls.
