Therapeutic ultrasound in soft tissue lesions.
نویسنده
چکیده
Therapeutic ultrasound is one of the most common treatments used in the management of soft tissue lesions, which constitute the majority of rheumatic complaints. Although many laboratory-based research studies have demonstrated a number of physiological effects of ultrasound upon living tissue, there is remarkably little evidence for benefit in the treatment of soft tissue injuries. This may be related to several confounding factors, including technical variables, the complexity and variety of underlying pathologies in soft tissue lesions, methodological limitations of clinical studies, or true lack of effect. In this review the scientific basis for the use of therapeutic ultrasound in soft tissue lesions and the existing evidence relating to its clinical effect are detailed.

Background and Objective: Different mechanisms may lead to the development of soft tissue tumor-like lesions in the oral cavity. Many of these lesions can be identified as specific entities on the basis of their histopathological features and are divided into fibrous, vascular, and giant cell types. The purpose of this study was to establish the relative prevalence of the different histopath...

Morel-Lavallée lesions are uncommon injuries that can be associated with significant comorbidities if not detected early. Rapid diagnosis in the Emergency Department could significantly improve patient outcomes. We describe the diagnosis of such a lesion through the use of ultrasound imaging in the Emergency Department to utilize a fast, cost-effective imaging technique that does not subject th...

In current study, The Mesh-free method based on weak-form formulation coupled with the ultrasound imaging technique is developed. This problem consists in computing the deformation of an elastic non-homogenous phantom by numerical methods (both Mesh-free and Finite Element) and converge their results to the measured deformation by the ultrasound. The shape functions of Mesh-free are approximate...

Abstract Reactive soft tissue lesions are common in the oral cavity. These lesions usually occur as a painless non-neoplastic proliferation. Surgical excision of these lesions will cause aesthetic and mucogingival problems in the area. In this case, a prominent lesion in the anterior maxilla of a 40-year-old woman had recurred after two years. Surgical treatment was performed with complete ...
متن کاملA review of therapeutic ultrasound: effectiveness studies.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Therapeutic ultrasound is one of the most widely and frequently used electrophysical agents. Despite over 60 years of clinical use, the effectiveness of ultrasound for treating people with pain, musculoskeletal injuries, and soft tissue lesions remains questionable. This article presents a systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in which ultrasound was us...
