There is a growing trend in using ultrasonography in pain medicine as evident by the plethora of published reports. Ultrasound(US) provides direct visualization of various soft tissues and real-time needle advancement and avoids exposing both the health care provider and the patient to the risks of radiation. The US machine is more affordable and transferrable than fluoroscopy, computed tomography scan,or magnetic resonance imaging machine. In a previous review, we discussed the challenges and limitations of US, anatomy, sonoanatomy, and techniques of interventional procedures of peripheral structures. In the present review, we discuss the anatomy, sonoanatomy, and US-guided techniques of interventional pain procedures for axial structures and review the pertinent literature.

Article Synopsis
- Ultrasound is the top non-invasive method for diagnosing testicular issues, effectively distinguishing between causes of acute pain and swelling like epididymitis and testicular torsion.
- It can detect and analyze masses inside and outside the testicle, especially when irregularities or swelling are present.
- Proper training and knowledge of the technique's limits improve the interpretation of ultrasound results, helping in clinical decision-making.
The ileocecal valve in transabdominal ultrasound Part 1: Sonographic anatomy and technique.

Article Synopsis
- The ileocecal valve is crucial for separating different parts of the intestine, and issues with it can lead to small intestinal bacterial overgrowth syndrome.
- This study aims to enhance understanding of the ileocecal valve through transabdominal ultrasound, comparing it with colonoscopy and CT colonography findings.
- Key findings show variations in the valve's morphology, with lipomatosis presenting a unique ultrasound image, emphasizing the importance of proper preparation and lymph node assessment in exams.

Innervation of the shoulder joint is complex and remains poorly understood among regional anesthesiologists and chronic pain specialists. Current literature supports the important contribution of the axillary nerve to the total innervation of the shoulder, as well as its blockade for perioperative pain and denervation for chronic shoulder pain. However, a description of the entire course of the axillary nerve, the corresponding optimal targets, and the sonoanatomy pertinent to pain intervention is lacking.

Background: This investigation delves deep into the lifting degree for each area of noninvasive facial rejuvenation through high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). The study meticulously examines the lifting effects of HIFU treatment across seven distinct facial aesthetic-units, using advanced three-dimensional scanner analysis.
Methods: The study examined a cohort of 50 patients treated with HIFU.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how reliable ultrasound is in locating the central slip of the extensor digitorum tendon (CSET) and to compare its measurements with traditional anatomical methods.
- Four rheumatologists independently measured the thickness of the CSET in cadaver fingers and evaluated the effects of creating artificial synovitis on their measurements.
- Results showed that ultrasound measurements were highly reliable and closely matched anatomical measurements, indicating it can effectively identify CSET without interference from joint conditions like synovitis.
