'Ultrasound Examination' of the Musculoskeletal System: Bibliometric/Visualized Analyses on the Terminology (Change).

Ultrasound imaging of the musculoskeletal system is paramount for physicians of different specialties. In recent years, its use has become the extension of physical examinations like using a "magnifying glass". Likewise, the eventual concept has naturally and spontaneously evolved to a "fusion" of classical physical examination and static/dynamic ultrasound imaging of the musculoskeletal system. In this regard, we deem it important to explore the current use/awareness regarding 'ultrasound examination', and to better provide insight into understanding future research spots in this field. Accordingly, this study aimed to search the global/research status of 'ultrasound examination' of the musculoskeletal system based on bibliometric and visualized analysis.
