Pdf Summary
This document introduces the use of neuromuscular ultrasound for diagnosing and evaluating entrapment neuropathies such as carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and ulnar neuropathy. It explains the safety considerations, use of ultrasound gel, and different types of transducers used. The document covers holding and positioning the transducer, ultrasound physics, and various controls and settings on ultrasound instruments. It delves into imaging and measurement of muscle and nerve structures, including muscle size and brightness, muscle pathology, nerve size and vascularity, and signs of nerve pathology. It briefly mentions other structures that can be imaged, such as the carpal tunnel and lymph nodes, as well as the presence of calcifications. The document concludes by emphasizing the valuable diagnostic information provided by neuromuscular ultrasound for entrapment neuropathies and its potential for evaluating various neuromuscular diseases.
