DOI: 10.1016/j.clinph.2018.03.036
Abstract: OBJECTIVE Reference values are crucial for nerve ultrasound. Here, we reevaluated normal nerve and fascicle cross-sectional area (CSA) values in humans and compared them to published values. Based on these data, ultrasound pattern sum score… read more here.

Platform Session – Electromyography: Nerve ultrasound for the identification of treatment-responsive chronic neuropathies without nerve conduction abnormalities
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Clinical Neurophysiology"
DOI: 10.1016/j.clinph.2018.04.576
Abstract: Introduction We aimed to determine whether nerve ultrasound can improve detection of potentially treatable chronic inflammatory neuropathies in patients that have normal nerve conduction study (NCS). Diagnostic consensus criteria for inflammatory neuropathies primarily rely on… read more here.
