OVERVIEW

Peripheral Nerve Sonography: Introductory Ultrasound and EMG Concepts video lecture is designed to provide a comprehensive basis and approach for the use of ultrasound and electrophysiologic techniques for the assessment of the peripheral nervous system and peripheral nerve disorders. The presentation is structured to review the appropriate elements of the clinical and electrophysiologic evaluation. It also reviews the fundamentals of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular ultrasound including ultrasound physics and image acquisition and optimization, ultrasound instrumentation scanning techniques, and both normal and abnormal sonographic characteristics of nerves, muscles, and other anatomic tissues. There is a detailed and comprehensive description of the approach to successfully image peripheral nerves and their disorders.
