Online Neurology Days | Day 5 | Peripheral Nerve Disease
More than 100 types of peripheral neuropathy have been identified*, each with its own symptoms and prognosis which can range from mild to severely disabling. The therapeutic management of peripheral nerve disorders requires detailed information about localisation and extent of an injury.
High-resolution ultrasound opens a wide scope in evaluating nerve and muscles diseases. With the current ultra high-frequency transducers new perspectives have been opened in evaluating the smallest nerves and its pathologies.
Can you see what we see? Join our experts to discover why high-resolution ultrasound imaging plays an important role in peripheral nerve system diagnostics and learn how neuromuscular ultrasound can transform your clinical practice.
