Ultrasound is one of the standard imaging modalities of the knee. In the recent decades many new ultrasound techniques have been introduced, including power Doppler, dynamic examination, and ultrasound-guided techniques. Some of them have clear advantages over magnetic resonance imaging-today's knee imaging gold standard-whereas others have failed to meet expectations. This pictorial article reviews and demonstrates the use of sonography in different knee joint pathologies underlining recent findings and their practical approach.
