Objective. To investigate the clinical value of high-frequency ultrasound in psoriatic arthritis (PSA). The study subjects were 32 outpatients and inpatients with PSA who were pathologically diagnosed from January 2018 to September 2020, including 11 males and 21 females, aged 25–70 years old, with an average of (49.8 ± 14.0) years old. All patients underwent ultrasound and physical examination, including the small joints of the hands and feet on both sides, nails, and the main attachment points of the lower limbs (quadriceps tendon, patellar ligament, Achilles tendon, and plantar fascia attachment). The involvement of these joints, attachment points, and nails was observed and counted, respectively, and statistically analyzed. Results. Physical examination revealed 406 (406/1792, 22.66%) joint lesions, 79 (79/320, 24.69%) attachment inflammation, and 84 (84/320, 26.25%) nail lesions. Ultrasonography revealed 492 (492/1792, 27.46%) joint lesions, 166 (166/320, 51.88%) attachment inflammation, and 203 (203/320, 63.44%) nail lesions. The positive rate of ultrasound examination was higher than that of physical examination ( P < 0.001 ). Conclusion. Ultrasonography can detect joint, attachment, and nail lesions earlier than physical examination in patients with PSA. Ultrasonography is of great value in the diagnosis of PSA.

Male genitalia includes the penis, testicles and the prostate. Ultrasound is a basic method for prostate exam, due to its obscure position deep in the pelvis. On the other hand, penis and scrotal content are very available to physical examination, but thanks to proximity to surface of the skin, the high frequency ultrasound gives us clear picture of the interior of this organs and that is why we use this method for the confirmation of clinical diagnosis and in decision making for further treatment.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare clinical diagnosis made by physical examination with high frequency ultrasonographic findings and also to correlate ultrasonographic findings of painful shoulders of cases with asymptomatic shoulders of control subjects. The most common clinical diagnosis was supraspinatus lesion (38) followed by bicep tendon lesion (14) .Rotator cuff was the most common structure to show abnormality (critical zone of avascularity) with supraspinatus being the most commonly involved tendon in our study. Non-invasiveness, easy availability along with its cost effectiveness justify role of high frequency ultrasound in the assessment of painful shoulder.
