Image for Neuromuscular ultrasound

Neuromuscular ultrasound

Neuromuscular ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed pictures of nerves and muscles. It helps doctors visualize nerve structures, detect abnormalities like nerve compression or injury, and assess muscle health. The process involves placing a small probe on the skin, which sends sound waves into the body; these waves bounce back to form images. This technique provides real-time information, aiding in diagnosis and guiding treatments for nerve and muscle conditions, all without the use of radiation.
