Over the last decade, neuromuscular ultrasonography has emerged as a useful tool for the diagnosis of peripheral nerve disorders. This article reviews sonographic findings of normal nerves, including key quantitative ultrasound measurements that are helpful in the evaluation of focal and possibly generalized peripheral neuropathies. It also discusses several recent articles outlining the evidence base for the use of this technology, as well as new findings in compressive, traumatic, and generalized neuropathies. Ultrasonography is well suited for use in electrodiagnostic laboratories, where physicians, experienced in both the clinical evaluation of patients and the application of hands-on technology, can integrate findings from the patient's history, physical examination, electrophysiological studies, and imaging for diagnosis and management.
在过去的十年中，神经肌肉超声已成为诊断周围神经疾病的有用工具。本文综述了正常神经的超声表现，包括有助于评估局灶性和可能的全身性周围神经病的关键定量超声测量。本文还讨论了几篇最近的文章，概述了这项技术应用的证据基础，以及在压迫性、创伤性和全身性神经病中的新发现。超声非常适合用于电诊断实验室，在这里，医生在患者的临床评估和实际技术应用方面都经验丰富，可以整合患者病史、体格检查、电生理研究和影像学检查的结果，进行诊断和管理。
