Tendon injuries, like chronic midportion Achilles tendinopathy, are challenging for medical specialists. Traditional imaging techniques, such as conventional ultrasound and MRI, have limitations in visualizing subtle tendon changes. Ultrasound Tissue Characterization (UTC) offers an innovative way to see and measure these changes. This blog explores 5 remarkable UTC benefits to treat tendinopathy in your patients,…
