With Anatomic and MRI Correlation

The fi rst publication on peripheral nerve ultrasound dates back to 1988 with Bruno Fornage’s article Peripheral nerves of the extremities: Imaging with US published in Radiology. Afterwards peripheral nerve ultrasound has been performed only by very few specialists around the world. During the last years, we have seen a tremendous increase of publications concerning diagnostic and interventional sonography of the peripheral nervous system, especially the technique of sonography-guided regional anesthesia, and pain therapy is getting widespread acceptance.
