Pdf Summary
This handout provides an overview of performing and interpreting neuromuscular ultrasound. It covers techniques, safety precautions, ultrasound gel, transducer types, and basic ultrasound physics. It discusses the use of color flow and power Doppler, side-by-side image comparison, instant replay, and video capture. The handout also explains imaging techniques for muscles and nerves, reference values for normal nerves and muscles, and reporting recommendations. Other uses of neuromuscular ultrasound, such as imaging musculoskeletal structures and detecting calcification, are briefly mentioned. Neuromuscular ultrasound is a painless and noninvasive technique that complements electrodiagnostic studies and is particularly useful for evaluating entrapment neuropathies. It involves positioning the patient and ultrasound transducer to obtain sagittal and cross-sectional views of the nerves. Reference values and typical findings for each entrapment neuropathy are discussed. Neuromuscular ultrasound is an evolving field with potential for future applications in the evaluation of various neuromuscular diseases.
