Ultrasound of Peripheral Nerve and Muscle

Advances in field of ultrasound over the past twenty years have generated increasing interest in utilizing the technology in neuromuscular assessment and diagnosis. High-resolution ultrasound offers a noninvasive, realtime, static and dynamic examination of the peripheral nervous system, yielding information which complements the neurological examination, electrodiagnostic testing (EDX), and other established imaging modalities such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
