Fracture sonography : ウィキペディア英語版 | Fracture sonography
Fracture sonography is the use of medical ultrasound to detect bone fractures. While medical ultrasound is used to visualize soft tissues like skin, organs, and blood vessels, fracture sonography is used to visualize fractures on only bone surfaces. It is useful for children aged 12 or younger because all fractures cause alterations of the bone surface, and joint fractures are uncommon at such ages. For joint fractures are common in adult bones and cannot be visualized properly, patients older than 12 years are not eligible for ultrasound fracture diagnosis. In contrast to X-ray diagnostics, the operator has to establish the safety and feasibility of using ultrasound for each specific location of the body. The advantages of fracture sonography is the avoidance of radiation exposure, faster examinations, and the ability to use standard ultrasound devices, which are more widespread. In all other cases, X-ray imaging is still an option. == Application ==
