肌骨超声集动态、实时、连续可视化,定量定性定位,简便无使用禁忌于一体,作为辅助检查、治疗、评价和研究工具,可提高针灸定位取穴的准确度,引导进针的方向、深度,观察得气效应,保障操作安全,量化疗效评价,为针灸研究提供客观依据,有助于以成像和数据等客观方式呈现针灸方面的操作技术。

Musculoskeletal ultrasound(MSUS)is characterized as the dynamic,real-time and continuous visualization,the quantitative and qualitative localization,the simple operation and the absence of use contraindication.As a tool for auxiliary examination,treatment,evaluation and research,in acupuncture and moxibustion,MSUS may improve the accuracy of acupoint location,guide the direction and depth of needle insertion,monitor the reactions of deqi,guarantee the safety of operation and quantify the effect evaluation.Hence,it may provide an objective basis for acupuncture and moxibustion research and be conductive to display the operation techniques of acupuncture and moxibustion by means of objective approaches such as imaging and data.
