ENHANCEMENTS IN ULTRASOUND TECHNIQUES FOR DIAGNOSING AND TREATING LYMPHOMA IN THE MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM OF ATHLETES

Abstract

"Ultrasound Advancements in Diagnosing Musculoskeletal Lymphomas in Athletes" — Ultrasound technology has become increasingly pivotal in clinical diagnostics due to its sensitivity, resolution, and accuracy, particularly with advances in high-frequency ultrasound ideal for assessing superficial organ lesions like those found in muscles and soft tissues. This is crucial for athletes, where lymphomas, although primarily recognized as malignancies of lymphatic reticular origin classified into Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's types, can significantly affect musculoskeletal health. This paper explores the ultrasonic characteristics pertinent to the musculoskeletal system involved in lymphomas, detailing the diagnostic imaging features and the recent advancements in ultrasound technology that enhance detection and treatment strategies in the athletic population.
