A previous case series suggests that there is benefit in using ultrasound imaging (USI) to evaluate diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) at point\u2010of\u2010care, however no guidance exists to inform its use. This scoping exercise explores the capacity of podiatrists with experience in interpreting musculoskeletal structures using USI to interpret sonographic images of DFU.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Following a short briefing session, podiatrists with previous musculoskeletal (MSK) USI training were asked to review and report on previously recorded static sonographic images (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20098) of active DFU. Content analysis was utilised to identify recurring keywords within the podiatrists' reports which were coded and assigned to categories to gain context to the data.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Seven podiatrists participated in the study. Four categories were constructed for the purposes of analysis:\n<jats:list>\n<jats:list-item><jats:p>Frequency of reporting, 2) Language used in reporting, 3) Observations, 4) Clinical impression<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item>\n<\/jats:list><\/jats:p><jats:p>Frequently, the reported findings between podiatrists were found to be similar, especially those related to bone morphology. However greater variability was seen in the reporting of wound specific soft\u2010tissue observations.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This scoping exercise has shown that podiatrists can translate their existing USI skills to make rudimentary reports on clinical findings in DFU. All participants were consistently able to identify and describe characteristics associated with DFU from a single b mode static wound ultrasound image. Findings from this investigation can be used as a foundation for further work to establish accuracy and reliability to validate DFU sonography. In conjunction the development of protocols and training materials will enable the adoption of USI to assess DFU in clinical practice. This will in turn, contribute to improved patient care and establish a new paradigm for wound surveillance which is translatable to other wound types.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s13047-022-00511-0","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,25]],"date-time":"2022-01-25T06:02:26Z","timestamp":1643090546000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["The evaluation of podiatrists, with knowledge and training in diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound, to describe sonographic images of diabetic foot wounds in the United Kingdom and Australia"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Charlotte","family":"Dando","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health Sciences Faculty of Environmental and Life Sciences University of Southampton Southampton UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Georgia","family":"Lane","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Podiatry Department Solent NHS Trust Southampton UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Catherine","family":"Bowen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Sport Exercise and Osteoarthritis Versus Arthritis University of Southampton Southampton UK"},{"name":"School of Health Sciences Faculty of Environmental and Life Sciences University of Southampton Southampton UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7281-3866","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Frances","family":"Henshaw","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine Western Sydney University Penrith Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,25]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","first-page":"373","article-title":"Prevention of diabetic foot ulcer","volume":"4","author":"Iraj B","year":"2013","journal-title":"Int J Preventative Med"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_1","unstructured":"Diabetes UK.2018.Facts and figures.
