MSK ultrasound is incredibly helpful and is recommended as preferred diagnostic imaging modality for a variety of suspected conditions in your patients. Can you answer this question or do you still need to hatch your skills? 

When evaluating for a partial-thickness tear of the Achilles tendon on ultrasound, which of the following findings are suggestive of this diagnosis?

A. The paratenon tissue is taking up the space of the tendon 
B. Hypoechoic defect within otherwise continuous tendon fibers 
C. Focal compressibility of a well-defined hypoechoic gap 
D. Absence of fibrillar pattern and continuity 

And here is the correct answer!

When evaluating for a partial-thickness tear of the Achilles tendon on ultrasound, which of the following findings are suggestive of this diagnosis?

Correct answer and explanation

The correct answers are B and C!

In this clip you saw a partial-thickness achilles tendon tear. This type of tears typically appear as localized hypoechoic defects within an otherwise preserved fibrillar structure, with compressibility of the focal defect due to fluid content. Complete loss of fibrillar continuity or paratenon displacement occupying the space of the retracted tendon suggests a more extensive injury, such as a full-thickness tear.

Diagnosing partial- and full-thickness tendon tears – and much more – can be learned in our MSK BachelorClass. Now available with -30% plus Lifetime Access until April 20th! 🎉

Can you spot the clot? 🩺🌷

Can you interpret 3D images? Can you make the diagnosis? If yes, you’ll surely be able to answer this one! 🧠✨

A mysterious mass has been spotted – but what is it really? Could it be a clot, a tumor, or something else entirely Spring into action and put your diagnostic instincts to work. 🌼🐣

Let’s see what’s blooming in your brain this season!

And here is the correct answer!

Can you spot the clot? 🩺🌷

Correct answer and explanation

Spotted it? It was a thrombus in the apex! 🧠🐰

The correct answer was the apical thrombus. Why? Because when you see a mass at the apex – especially in a heart with poor LV function and a wall motion abnormality – thrombus should be your top suspect.

Now let’s untangle the others:

🌷 A toothpaste lesion refers to a laminated thrombus, with a streaky, layered appearance (yes, it really does resemble squeezed toothpaste!).
🌷 A myxoma typically attaches to the interatrial septum (IAS) – that location is key and almost diagnostic.
🌷 A mass on a pacemaker lead is most often an infective vegetation, but it could also be a thrombus, especially in patients with hypercoagulability.

Spring is here, and so is a new challenge to keep your brain blooming! 🌼

Can you answer this question?

Which of the following do you associate with a specific pattern in cardiology?

A) Tail of a cat 🐈‍⬛
B) Chicken legs 🐓
C) Rabbit ears 🐰
D) Parrot head 🦜

Only one is spot-on – can you spot it? Tap into your instincts and take a wild (but educated) guess!

And here is the correct answer!

Which of the following do you associate with a specific pattern in cardiology?

Correct answer and explanation

It’s the Rabbit ears! Here’s what they mean 🐰✨

The correct answer is C – Rabbit ears, which refers to the RSR' pattern in V1, typical of right bundle branch block (RBBB). But here's the real diagnostic bloom:
🌸 When the left rabbit ear (R') is taller than the right, it’s almost always ventricular ectopy – normal RBBB just doesn’t do that.
🌸 If the right rabbit ear is taller, things get trickier – both aberrancy and ectopy can present that way.

So this little ECG clue can help you pick up on ventricular tachycardia faster than a bunny in springtime. Keep hatching your skills – this season is all about sharper eyes and brighter insights! 🌷📈

You still need to warm up your skills to recognise these patterns? Then check out our courses now – available with -30% plus Lifetime Access until April 20th! 🎉

🌸 Spring, Blooms & Bleeding – Can You Spot the Blood?

Spring is all about new life and blooming flowers, but in medicine, not everything that "blooms" is harmless. Some structures in the body may look normal but can actually be sites of hidden bleeding. 🩸🌷

So here’s the challenge: Which of these structures is most likely to contain blood? Think you can spot it? 👀

And here is the correct answer!

Which of these structures is most likely to contain blood?

Correct answer and explanation

🩸 Blooming or Bleeding? Here’s the Answer!

Here is the correct answer! Both the hemorrhagic thyroid cyst AND the abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)! 🎯

Here’s why:
✅ A hemorrhagic thyroid cyst contains internal bleeding within a fluid-filled nodule, seen on ultrasound as mixed echogenicity with debris or fluid-fluid levels.
✅ An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) may contain thrombus and blood flow, recognizable by pulsations on Doppler ultrasound. If it ruptures, it can lead to life-threatening bleeding.

What about the other options?
❌ Gallbladder with biliary sludge – Thick bile, but no blood.
❌ Uterus with a 5-week pregnancy – Contains developing life, not hemorrhage.

Can you solve this quiz about hydronephrosis?

Ultrasound is an essential imaging modality for evaluating renal and urinary tract pathologies, including hydronephrosis. Here's a classic quiz question that every ultrasound beginner should be able to answer! 💡 As this ultrasound diagnosis is mostly based on structures that can be seen with any ultrasound device and in any patient, nearly independent of how easily scannable he is, you don't have no excuses not to use it and check your patients!

Which of the following ultrasound findings are used to grade the severity of hydronephrosis?

(Tip: More than one answer is correct)

A) Degree of dilation of the renal pelvis and calyces 
B) Presence of perinephric fat stranding
C) Thinning of the renal cortex
D) Regularity /Irregularity of the kidney tissue surface
E) Visibility and separation of calyceal structures

And here is the correct answer!

Which of the following ultrasound findings are used to grade the severity of hydronephrosis?

Correct answer and explanation

The correct answers are A, C, and E!

Hydronephrosis grading is based on the extent of pelvicalyceal dilation, calyceal visibility and separation, and cortical thinning in advanced cases. Perinephric changes and irregularities of the organ surface are not criteria for hydronephrosis grading but may suggest other pathology. The latter might also indicate a norm-variation like persistent fetal lobulation!

🌸 Which Spring Symbol Fits This Condition?

Spring is here! 🌸🐰🐑 But did you know that some heart conditions can resemble things found in nature?

One rare form of endocarditis – Libman-Sacks endocarditis – has vegetations that look strikingly similar to one of these springtime symbols. Which one is it? 🤔

Which image do you associate with Libman-Sacks endocarditis?

And here is the correct answer!

Which image do you associate with Libman-Sacks endocarditis?

Correct answer and explanation

🍓 Did You Spot the Clue?

The correct answer? Berries! 🍓✨

In Libman-Sacks endocarditis, the vegetations on the heart valves often appear as clusters of small, round growths, much like a bunch of berries on a branch. This type of nonbacterial endocarditis is linked to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and can affect both sides of the heart.

Learn MSK Ultrasound and Injection Techniques – Essential Skills for Your Practice!

One common condition where ultrasound-guided interventions are highly relevant is tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). Understanding the best treatment approach is key!  🎾💪

In which situation does a corticosteroid injection make the most sense for treating tennis elbow?

A) As the first-line treatment for all cases of tennis elbow
B) For short-term pain relief in severe cases that are limiting daily function
C) As a routine treatment every few weeks to prevent recurrence
D) Corticoid steroid injections are contraindicated

And here is the correct answer!

In which situation does a corticosteroid injection make the most sense for treating tennis elbow?

Correct answer and explanation

The correct answer is B!

Corticosteroid injections can provide fast pain relief, but they are best used in severe cases where pain is significantly affecting daily activities. However, their long-term benefits are limited, and repeated injections can weaken tendons. For chronic or persistent cases, ultrasound-guided Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections or extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is another option for the treatment of elbow tendinopathy. In general therapeutic injections should only be considered after a trial of other therapeutic modalities such as use of NSAIDs and avoiding aggravating activities!  🔹

We offer high-quality musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound courses, an invaluable tool for faster and more accurate diagnosis of tendon, muscle, and joint conditions. By mastering MSK ultrasound, you can improve treatment precision and provide better patient care. But let's go beyond diagnostics: In our MSK Ultrasound Guided Injections MasterClass, you learn how and when to perform ultrasound-guided injection techniques. These US techniques enhance accuracy, reduce risks, and lead to better outcomes for patients with a variety of conditions, including tendinopathies and joint pain. 

And the best part of this: our offer of -30% plus Lifetime Access is valid for all our MSK courses! 🎉

Spring, Eggs &… Calcifications? 👀

Spring is in the air! Flowers are blooming, chicks are hatching… and in medicine some structures even calcify like eggshells! 🥚✨ 

One of these ultrasound findings is called "eggshell calcification." Can you spot which one? Watch the video below and put your ultrasound expertise to the test! 🧐

Which of these pathologies is termed egg shell calcifications?

And here is the correct answer!

Which of these pathologies is termed egg shell calcifications?

Correct answer and explanation

🥚 Cracked the Case? Here’s the Answer!

Here is the answer: The pathology known as "eggshell calcification" is specific type of  thyroid nodule! 🏆. In ultrasound, an eggshell calcification appears as a thin, rim-like layer of calcification around a thyroid nodule. While it’s often seen in benign nodules, it can sometimes indicate malignancy. In this case look for cracks in the shell.

Do you know what's so different about performing and interpreting ultrasound exams on our youngest patients?

Here's a sneak peek of Belinda Chan's ABCDE Scheme of Lung Ultrsound in Neonates and Infants. Do you know what's so different about performing and interpreting ultrasound exams on our youngest patients?  Try to answer the following quiz question:

Which of the following statements about the difference between neonatal and adult lung ultrasound diagnostics is WRONG?

A) Neonates, in contrast to adults may lack rib shadow due to non-calcified ribs
B) The thymus is visible on US in neonates and infants before it involutes. It is absent in adults.
C) In neonates there is a differential diagnosis to respiratory distress syndrome (RDS): transient tachypnea of newborn (TTN). This is specific to neonates but not to adults.
D) Neonates have continuous pleural lines making it difficult to rule out pneumothorax based on the same technique applied in adults.

And here is the correct answer!

Which of the following statements about the difference between neonatal and adult lung ultrasound diagnostics is WRONG?

Correct answer and explanation

The correct answer is D!

While it is true that neonates have continuous pleural lines, this does not hinder the ability to diagnose or rule out pneumothorax. In fact, the opposite is true 👉 without rib shadows, the presence or absence of lung sliding is easier to observe. The principles of detecting pneumothorax – assessing lung sliding, lung point, and M-mode patterns – remain largely the same for both neonates and adults.

🥚 Spot the Rotten Egg – Which One Is Malignant?

Spring is a time of new life, but not all eggs are fresh – some are foul and rotten. The same goes for ultrasound findings – some are harmless, while others signal serious disease. 

So, which image shows the "rotten egg" of malignancy? 🩸🔬

And here is the correct answer!

🥚 Spot the Rotten Egg – Which One Is Malignant?

Correct answer and explanation

🥚 Cracked the Case? Here’s the Rotten Truth!

If you picked melanoma metastasis in the left ventricle, you nailed it! 🎯

But here’s the challenge – differentiating malignant from benign findings isn't always straightforward. A mass in the LV could theoretically be a thrombus, but something is off in Image D – there’s no wall motion abnormality, raising suspicion for malignancy.

Meanwhile, Image C shows an extracardiac mass, but don’t be fooled! This is actually epicardial fat floating in a pericardial effusion within the aortic recessus – a benign finding.

Are eggs healthy or not? 🥚

🥚 Fact or Myth? The Truth About Eggs and Your Health!

Can eggs actually protect against one of these conditions? 🤔 If you're an ultrasound expert, you’ll definitely recognize which conditions we mean! Check your knowledge and then see the answer and explanation!

Which condition is less likely in individuals with moderate egg consumption?

And here is the correct answer!

Which condition is less likely in individuals with moderate egg consumption?

Correct answer and explanation

🥚 The Big Reveal: Do Eggs Really Clog Your Arteries? 🚀

Time for the big reveal! 🏆 Eggs have long been misunderstood, but studies now show that moderate egg consumption is less likely to contribute to atherosclerosis than we once thought.

While eggs contain cholesterol, they also provide key nutrients like choline, healthy fats, and protein, which may actually support cardiovascular health rather than harm it. The idea that eggs clog arteries? That’s an outdated myth! 🚀

Can you spot twins on an early pregnancy scan?

Ultrasound is essential in early pregnancy for confirming viability, assessing gestational age, determining the number of fetuses, identifying placental structures, and detecting complications. It plays a key role in diagnosing twin pregnancies, which require specialized monitoring. A crucial step is determining whether twins share a placenta or have separate ones, as this significantly impacts pregnancy risks and management.

OB/GYN professionals, sonographers, midwives, and medical trainees can make accurate diagnoses and identify the twin type using ultrasound even in very early stages of pregnancy. But how do we differentiate them on ultrasound? There are specific signs, do you know what they are? 🤔

What do the Lamda- and T-sign refer to in OB/GYN ultrasound?

A) They help distinguish between singleton and twin pregnancies
B) The Lambda sign (λ-sign) appears when two chorionic layers meet at the intertwin membrane, creating a triangular projection (DCDA) while the T-sign occurs when there is no chorionic tissue between the twins (MCDA)
C) They indicate the position of the placenta in twin pregnancies
D) they refer to ultrasound artifacts found when scanning early pregnancy 

Made your guess? Then check if you are right here 👇

Correct answer and explanation

B) is correct!

In early pregnancy scans, the Lambda sign (λ-sign) and T-sign help differentiate twin types. 🍼👶👶

The Lambda sign appears as a triangular projection of tissue at the junction of the twin sacs, indicating dichorionic diamniotic (DCDA) twins, meaning they have separate placentas and amniotic sacs.

The T-sign appears as a thin perpendicular membrane without a triangular projection, suggesting monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) twins, who share a placenta but have separate amniotic sacs.

These markers are crucial for assessing twin chorionicity and guiding pregnancy management

Hearts and… cacti? 🌵 Chickens? 🐔 Cauliflower? 🥦 What’s going on here?

Believe it or not, the shape of a specific part of your heart—the left atrial appendage (LAA)—can actually influence your risk of stroke. And some shapes are riskier than others!

Which morphology of the left atrial appendage has the highest thromboembolic risk?

A) Windsock

B) Chicken wing

C) Cauliflower

D) Cactus

And here is the correct answer!

Which morphology of the left atrial appendage has the highest thromboembolic risk?

Correct answer and explanation

Cauliflower is correct!

Time for the big reveal! The left atrial appendage shape with the highest stroke risk is… 🥁 Cauliflower! 🥦

Why? The Cauliflower-shaped LAA has:
✅ A more complex, irregular structure
✅ Multiple lobes and uneven surfaces
✅ Higher likelihood of blood stagnation—leading to clot formation!

In contrast:
🐔 Chicken Wing LAA is lower risk due to its smooth, single-lobed design.
🌪️ Windhose and 🌵 Cactus fall somewhere in between, with moderate clot risk.

Understanding LAA morphology is crucial for assessing stroke risk, especially in atrial fibrillation patients. This knowledge helps doctors determine whether anticoagulation or procedures like LAA occlusion might be needed.
