The usage patterns and benefits of extended field of view sonography were
analyzed prospectively in 100 consecutive musculoskeletal ultrasonographic
examinations. Extended field of view sonography was used in 23 of 58
abnormal cases (10 of 41 shoulders, five of eight other joints, seven of
seven extra-articular extremities, one of two interventional procedures)
and two of 42 normal cases. Of 23 abnormal cases using extended field of
view sonography (12 of 46 tendon tears and 11 of 12 fluid collections or
masses), this modality helped in measuring abnormalities in 13, displaying
abnormalities in 19, showing spatial relationships in 17, communicating
findings in 13, and making diagnoses in 0. Extended field of view is a
useful technique for musculoskeletal ultrasonography. The primary benefits
are measuring and displaying abnormalities (most often fluid collections or
masses and extra-articular extremity abnormalities).
