This is the first of a two-part article in which we focus on the Ultrasound (US) appearance of the normal median nerve (MN) and its main branches. The detailed anatomy and US anatomy of the MN course are presented with high-resolution images obtained with the latest-generation US machines and transducers. Variations are discussed to avoid misinterpretation of normal findings.
