Ultrasound enables the detailed assessment of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, now enhanced with Sonosite’s new ultra-high frequency transducer: UHF 46-20 MHz. Join Daniel Shelton and Dr. Daniel Malone for Part 3 of the Diagnostic Hand Ultrasound Series: ‘Arthritic Hand’ to distinguish between rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis findings. This webinar will also review the critical role of colour power doppler for confirming synovitis and discover the benefits of ultra-high frequency for enhanced diagnostic precision.
