| Summary: | Diagnostic sonography of the peripheral nervous system is an evolving specialty of musculoskeletal ultrasound. This book provides an in-depth description of sonographic examination technique -- how to access an individual nerve with sonography and how to interpret local findings. A particular focus is on sonographic-anatomic correlations, based on the use of anatomic cadaver cryosections and comparative sonograms. All currently possible clinical applications are addressed, including the evaluation of nerve compression syndromes, traumatic lesions, tumors, and postoperative complications. A special section is dedicated to interventional procedures and sonographic guidance in anesthesia. In addition, two experts give a basic introduction to electrophysiologic testing and peripheral nerve surgery. The book contains a huge number of high-quality patient sonograms, all derived from cases with clinical and in many instances surgical correlation. |
