Diagnostic Accuracy of Ultrasound Imaging and Shear Wave Elastography to Discriminate Patients with Chronic Neck Pain from Asymptomatic Individuals
Fatty infiltration was significantly higher in individuals with chronic idiopathic neck pain compared to those without symptoms, while other muscle metrics were similar between both groups. However, since fat infiltration had moderate diagnostic accuracy and the other metrics showed poor discriminatory power, US cannot be used solely to discriminate patients with idiopathic neck pain.
