A modern clinical ultrasound probe have something in the range of 128 to 512 elements only. But despite that you get a real-time video stream at a lot higher resolution than a 512 pixel postage stamp.



Why isn't ultrasound used in orthopedics? Instead of MRI rigamarole, why can't the doc put the wand to my shoulder in the office and tell me if it's a tear?


Someone skilled in musculoskeletal ultrasound can do it.

But that's a hard skill to develop.
