Abstract:
Neuromuscular ultrasound has become an integral part of the diagnostic workup of neuromuscular diseases in neurology. Neuromuscular ultrasound can detect nerve enlargement, selective muscle damage, and fasciculation easily and non-invasively, which allows differentiation between auto-immune/inflammatory and degenerative/hereditary diseases. It is significant and essential for all neurologists to master the neuromuscular ultrasound technique.
