Musculoskeletal ultrasound (US) imaging is a novel method that is used to increase the accuracy of the physical examination (2, 3). An increasing number of rheumatologists all around the world have started using US, especially to detect early inflammation, as well as to truly identify the disease activity, guide injections, and monitor therapies. In addition to all of the advantages, US is also cost-effective, non-invasive, and tolerated better than magnetic resonance imaging (4, 5). Because of these advantages, US was also introduced in the rheumatology community in Turkey in 2006. Since then, there have been various international and national courses to train both consultants and fellows in Turkey. The aim of these courses was to train and encourage more rheumatologists to use US imaging in daily practice. In 2013, the Turkish Rheumatology Society also started being represented in an international organization, named the “Targeted Ultrasound InitiativeTUI,” the ultimate target of which is to increase the use of US in the field of rheumatology and improve patient care (www.targeted ultrasound.net). As a part of this group, a survey was conducted among rheumatologists in Turkey in order to identify what percent of rheumatologists are doing US, the reasons for doing so, and the limitations if they are not able to perform it.
