Neuromuscular Ultrasound

Neuromuscular Ultrasound


Neuromuscular Ultrasound demonstrates the use of ultrasound as an alternative to electrodiagnosis in the evaluation of
neuromuscular disorders through detailed descriptions and clear illustrations. Drs. Francis Walker and Michael S.
Cartwright discuss techniques for visualizing muscles and nerves without painful testing for better patient compliance
and more efficient diagnosis. Color illustrations, pearls for the clinician, and ultrasound videos online at
www.expertconsult.com, ensure that you'll be able to apply this technology effectively in your practice.
