ReviewRecommendations for musculoskeletal ultrasonography by rheumatologists: setting global standards for best practice by expert consensus.
To establish an expert consensus of best practice for rheumatologists performing musculoskeletal ultrasonography (MUS). ⋯ We have produced the first expert-derived, interdisciplinary consensus of recommendations for rheumatologists performing MUS. This represents a significant advance that will not only direct future rheumatology MUS practice, but will facilitate informed educational development. This is an important step towards the introduction of a specific training curriculum and assessment process to ensure competent rheumatologist ultrasonographers.
