The Sound Experience team publish regular educational case studies, research digests and opinions.
The “Quality Triangle”
The “Quality Triangle” describes the theory that within a project, there are three axes- cost, quality, and time- of which one is usually fixed, while the other two have an inverse relationship.
Annoying as that is, being conscious of the trade-offs and allowing for them or even actually planning for them, might be a sensible idea…
Where do our muscle tear scanning intervals come from? (AKA our promise)
Scott Allen recently talked about our current thinking (yes, it may well change) regarding muscle tears. He mentioned three key points. We thought it might be sensible to add a little insight into how we arrived at the intervals and ultrasound tear evaluation.
Let’s talk about ultrasound imaging in acute muscle injury
We had a small zoom meeting recently to start a conversation about muscle injury. This was an opportunity to share with referrers and other interested people our current interpretation of what the literature is telling us regarding the role of ultrasound imaging in the diagnosis and rehabilitation of acute muscle tears. There were three initial focus points we wanted to share:
Finding fractures with ultrasound. Part 2
In part one, we left you with, why does detecting a fracture with ultrasound make a difference? The treatment pathway for fracture is different from that of soft tissue injury.
Finding fractures with ultrasound. Part 1
I am often asked, “Can ultrasound detect fracture?” The short answer, “Yes.” In this two part post, find out why this matters.
How to tendinopathy 3: using the ultrasound report
In the final post of this three part series, view a basic guide to how we report tendon injury within the continuum model. You’ll see example text from our reports, how this text aligns with the ultrasound images, and a broad indication of where patient management might be focussed.
