How to pick this exam type
Pick Joint ultrasound. Name the joint and side in the first phrase: right knee. If both were examined, say both sides and describe the differences.
How to dictate
Joint and side, then effusion in millimetres, synovium and its vascularity, cartilage, menisci or labrum, ligaments, tendons, bursae, Baker cyst, soft tissue. Terms depend on the joint: rotator cuff for the shoulder, menisci for the knee.
What to watch
- The effusion number goes to its own field, the effusion character in words to the next one.
- Synovial vascularity by grade: grade 1, grade 2.
- For the shoulder name the tendons: supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis, long head of biceps.
- The comparison with the other side has its own field: no effusion on the left.
What the report will contain
A region section with joint and side, a joint cavity table with effusion and synovium, a structures table with cartilage, menisci, ligaments, tendons, bursae, impression.
Reference ranges are printed for information only: the service does not compare values with norms and does not write a diagnosis. The impression stays yours.

The result arrives in 20-40 seconds. Any value, label or unit can be corrected in the editor and formulas recalculate. The document opens in Word and PDF, prints from the browser with the patient name typed on the spot, and can be shared with a colleague by link.
