2021 Workshop Handout Bundle-Basic US of Upper Limb Nerves

Basic US of Upper Limb Nerves - Sakamuri

Pdf Summary

This document provides an introduction to the performance of neuromuscular ultrasound, emphasizing hands-on techniques, safety, and guidelines for optimal imaging. It covers transducers, ultrasound physics, power Doppler, and measurement techniques. It also mentions other potential uses of ultrasound and outlines report elements. Neuromuscular sonography is useful for evaluating common entrapment neuropathies, providing valuable anatomical information. It discusses specific findings in carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, and fibular neuropathy. Overall, neuromuscular sonography is a valuable tool in diagnosing and managing these neuropathies and may play a wider role in evaluating neuromuscular diseases.
