ABSTRACT
Ultrasound (US) has become a method of multiple applications in clinical and radiological practice. Over the last years, however, US has developed as a reliable and useful diagnostic method in muscle-skeletal system diseases as well as in rheumatological and traumatologic pathologies, being the sports medicine setting where it reaches an ever-increasing acceptance among clinicians. Soft-tissue tumors constitutes an area where US plays a relatively secondary role if compared with Magnetic Resonance Imaging, a more expensive technique that, when dealing with certain specific entities, may offer less accuracy in sensitivity and specificity results than those provided by US. This study was conducted to demonstrate Ultrasound abilities in the diagnosis and characterization of most frequent soft-tissue tumors.
RESUMEN
El ultrasonido se ha constituido en un método de múltiples aplicaciones en nuestro medio. En los últimos años se ha difundido su utilización como método diagnóstico en la patología del sistema musculoesquelético, especialmente en enfermedades reumatológicas, traumatológicas en general y en la esfera de la medicina deportiva, donde goza de creciente aceptación por parte de los clínicos. El área de los tumores de partes blandas constituye un segmento de la patología en que el ultrasonido juega un rol relativamente secundario en relación a la resonancia magnética, método más oneroso, que en algunas entidades específicas puede tener un rendimiento inferior al ultrasonido. El presente artículo pretende revisar las capacidades del ultrasonido en el estudio de los tumores de partes blandas más frecuentes.
