Nerve and Muscle Ultrasound With Hands-On Scanning

The Nerve and Muscle Ultrasound course presents an introduction to basic principles of ultrasound technology with hands-on demonstrations of technique and case interpretation. It is in real-time use of the instrument that the practitioner recognizes the importance of this type of basic knowledge and it is in this context that they can apply this knowledge to troubleshoot difficult imaging cases, identify artifacts, and improve resolution at the bedside. Lectures will focus on applications in muscle disease, peripheral and cranial nerve imaging, and an introduction to the use of ultrasound in evaluating musculoskeletal disorders. A small group format facilitates questions and answers and tailors the educational experience to meet the specific needs of individual participants.
