Nerve Imaging Atlas
The objective of this atlas is to describe the characteristic
features that identify peripheral nerves using ultrasound imaging.
The goals are to illustrate key anatomic features of peripheral
nerves that can be identified with ultrasound imaging. This includes
the best acoustic windows, optimal angles of insonation, characteristic
dynamic motion and consistent associated structures. Although
nerves can be imaged anywhere along their course, this atlas
will provide a starting point for identifying normal nerve anatomy.
We hope to promote nerve imaging with ultrasound for clinical
practice, teaching and research.
The scope of the atlas includes all peripheral and cranial
nerves with reported sonographic imaging (exceptions: recurrent
laryngeal nerve, pudendal nerve, and
