Rheumatology Network Presents Video Series on Ultrasound Diagnosis and Treatment of Joint Problems

NORWALK, Conn., Sept. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- UBM Medica US announces that Rheumatology Network, a leading online community for rheumatologists, has launched "Sounding Out Arthritis," a new series of videos on how to use ultrasound scanning to diagnose joint problems, such as Achilles tendinitis, and to assure proper placement of injections into joints.

In the videos, rheumatologist Paul DeMarco MD, begins by demonstrating how to place the ultrasound probe to visualize the particular joint most effectively. A narrated series of slides follows, in which doctors can see what appears on the ultrasound monitor when the joint is scanned.

The monthly series began with a video on ultrasound-guided injection, followed by a second on ultrasound-guided ankle injection. The most recent video portrays use of ultrasound to diagnose pain in the Achilles tendon, a common problem among runners and other athletes.

Topics of forthcoming videos include use of ultrasound to detect carpal tunnel syndrome and gout and to diagnose problems with the hip joint.
