A member asked:

Will elbow tendinosis or tendonitis show on an ultrasound? if not, what other method should be used to display evidence

Specializes in Diagnostic Radiology

Mri is the best: musculoskeletal ultrasound is very difficult and not all sonographers are comfortable performing the study. MRI is the best way to examine the elbow tendons.
