This thoroughly updated and expanded second edition continues to be the singular reference for comprehensive clinical instruction in the use of high-frequency ultrasound for assessing peripheral nerves and their disorders, particularly focal neuropathies. Revised to integrate current advances in the field, new applications, and next-generation equipment, this top-of-the-line text employs a “how-to” approach, detailing clinical evaluations inclusive of both normal and pathological findings, with discussions of relevant non-neurologic tissue.
The book begins with an insightful review of ultrasound physics, instrumentation, image optimization, and anatomy. It then presents a highly visual tour through multiple nerves of the neck, shoulder, and upper and lower limbs, featuring new chapters on muscle evaluation and ultrasound-guided principles. Anatomical chapters have been substantially updated to include additional nerves and advanced concepts, enriched with updated drawings and unprecedented visualization of smaller nerve segments captured by cutting-edge equipment. Unique clinical cases in this edition demonstrate the use of ultrasound in conjunction with clinical and electrophysiologic assessments to optimize diagnosis. In-text video callouts directly connect chapter content to over 430 detailed video examinations accessible online, enhancing the understanding of ultrasound images.
The definitive reference on peripheral nerve ultrasound and focal neuropathies, this practical text and atlas is a prime resource for neurologists, physiatrists, radiologists, sports medicine physicians, and other providers seeking to combine ultrasound with electrodiagnosis for entrapments of the upper and lower limbs.
