Musculoskeletal impairments are reported by more than one out of every four Americans, and in 2008 an estimated 46 million, or one in five adults, reported arthritis.1 Local injections of therapeutic agents into articular structures can lead to rapid decreases in pain and inflammation without many of the serious side effects associated with systemic medications. However, as with any diagnostic or therapeutic procedure, success depends on the expertise of the clinician and the accuracy with which the medications are injected into the affected joint space. Ultrasound is an emerging imaging modality which affords dynamic, real-time, cost-effective and physician-controlled visualization of anatomic impairments. Recent data has demonstrated that the use of ultrasound imaging improves accuracy rates in joint injections.

Multimodality imaging in medicine can provide a physician with tools for making an accurate diagnosis prior to making treatment recommendations and helps the physician to lessen the potential for restaging, simplifying the image evaluation process and improving patient care in the future. The benefits also can be applied to the improvement of imaging in clinical trials, where precision and standardization is a necessity. For many diseases, including cancer, heart disease and certain brain disorders, the current and typical imaging process requires the acquisition of both positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) scans.
