Pdf Summary
This handout introduces and explains basic nerve ultrasound techniques and interpretation for beginners. It covers safety, gel and transducer use, transducer positioning, ultrasound physics, muscle imaging, nerve measurement and visualization, nerve pathology and vascularity, reference values, reporting ultrasound findings, and other observations. Neuromuscular sonography is a painless and noninvasive technique that can diagnose entrapment neuropathies such as carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy at the elbow and wrist, and fibular neuropathy at the knee. It provides valuable diagnostic information and can assist with treatment planning and prognosis.
