Video Summary
Barry Belosis, a musculoskeletal radiology fellow at Stanford, discusses the ultrasound evaluation of a 30-year-old male with bilateral posterior ankle pain, suspected of having Achilles tendinopathy. Ultrasound assesses the thickness, contour, echogenicity, and surrounding tissue of the Achilles tendon. The patient's ultrasound shows mild thickening, hypoechoic regions, and contour changes in both Achilles tendons, along with echogenicity in the Cagre's fat pad. Color Doppler imaging indicates potential neovascularization, despite normal Achilles tendons showing no vascularity, suggesting tendinopathy or inflammation.
