Key Highlights
Review a structured hip sonography protocol through a live scan by Jon A. Jacobson, M.D., with practical insights into patient positioning, probe orientation, anatomical landmarks, and MSK ultrasound workflow using R20.
This expert insights video presents a live hip sonography session delivered by Jon A. Jacobson, M.D. during the Samsung Symposium at ESSR 2026. Using the R20 ultrasound system, the session introduces a structured approach to hip ultrasound and demonstrates how a consistent scanning protocol can support musculoskeletal ultrasound examinations.
Through real-time scanning, viewers can review practical workflow considerations such as patient positioning, transducer orientation, anatomical landmark recognition, and image optimization. A systematic approach can help clinicians acquire relevant ultrasound views while maintaining a clear and repeatable examination sequence.
Hip sonography enables real-time and multiplanar assessment of the hip region. The live scan format allows viewers to observe how the examiner adjusts the transducer and ultrasound image while progressing through the examination, providing practical context beyond static reference images.
The session is intended for healthcare professionals seeking to strengthen their understanding of hip ultrasound examination techniques and structured MSK ultrasound workflows. It may also serve as an educational reference for clinicians developing greater consistency and confidence in hip sonography.
The clinical information presented in this content is intended for educational purposes. Healthcare professionals should rely on their own clinical judgment and applicable clinical guidelines when performing ultrasound examinations and interpreting imaging findings.
