Rheumatologists manage patients with rheumatic diseases, which are of a wide
range of musculoskeletal pathologies. Without clarification of the exact location
of pathologies and the degree of inflammation, rheumatologists may have an
incorrect assessment, leading to inappropriate management. In everyday practice,
physical examination is limited by its sensitivity and power of assessment.
Musculoskeletal ultrasonography (MSUS) is inexpensive, readily available, and
allows side-by-side image comparisons. Thus, during the past 10 years, MSUS has
become the "third eye" of the rheumatologist, in that it allows more detailed
examination of muscles, bones, and joints, just as the stethoscope provides
further details about the respiratory and circulatory systems. We briefly
introduce how rheumatologists in Taiwan use MSUS for the diagnosis and treatment
for rheumatic diseases.
