Introduction : technical considerations of high resolution ultrasonography -- Finding the nerve -- Clinical applications.

Sommario/riassunto

The past 10 years have seen the explosive expansion of the field of high-resolution imaging of the peripheral nervous system because of technical advances in sonography, allowing for good resolution, rapid imaging and (relatively) inexpensive images of the peripheral nervous structures. This timely volume presents the rapid advances and clinical relevance of high-resolution sonography for peripheral nerve diagnostics in a precise and clinically relevant way.  The book begins by describing the characteristics of normal and diseased peripheral nerves, and then discusses the value of sonography
