RheumWave

Interactive Rheumatology Ultrasound Cases

Getting the image is half of it.

RheumWave is a case library for musculoskeletal ultrasound in rheumatology. Each case puts you in front of real images and asks you to make the call — identify the structure, name the finding, commit to an answer — before it shows you what the scan actually shows. You get scored, you retake, and you watch the gap close.

Three steps, then repeat

Nothing to install. Pick a case and start reading images.

STEP 01

Choose a case

Filter the library by joint, pathology, or level — or search a case number directly. Intro cases assume no scanning experience. Core and Advanced take the anatomy as read and go straight to the finding.

STEP 02

Work the images

Move through the scan the way you would in real time: orient yourself, find the landmark, decide what's normal and what isn't, and answer before the case tells you.

STEP 03

Check your score, then go again

Every attempt is scored and kept on your case card, so you can see which pathologies you keep missing. Repeat any case as often as you like — the history stays.

The joints you'll actually scan

Cases are drawn from the presentations that walk into a rheumatology clinic — not rare findings you'll never meet again.

Start with a normal scan.

Recognising synovitis rests on knowing exactly what a quiet joint looks like — worth recalibrating against however long you've been scanning. Case 1 takes about five minutes.
