Description
Gulfcoast Ultrasound and Electrodiagnosis (EMG) of the Brachial Plexus
Gulfcoast Ultrasound and Electrodiagnosis (EMG) of the Brachial Plexus training video is designed to provide a comprehensive approach to the use of ultrasound for the assessment of the brachial plexus. The presentation is structured to review the brachial plexus anatomy, clinical assessment, the relative value and technical approach of routine electrophysiologic techniques, scanning techniques, and image optimization with ultrasound. In addition, the clinical basis for utilizing ultrasound for brachial plexus assessment, and both normal / abnormal sonographic characteristics of the nerves, muscles, and other related anatomy will be included
OBJECTIVES
- Outline the complex anatomy and function of the different elements of the brachial plexus.
- Perform the clinical assessment for patients with a possible brachial plexus injury.
- State the relative value and technical aspects of commonly employed electrophysiologic techniques used for assessment of brachial plexopathies.
- Demonstrate the scanning techniques and image optimization for visualizing the brachial plexus and its branches.
- Identify the sonographic appearance of the brachial plexus, its branches, and neighboring structures.
- Recognize the sonographic appearance of various pathologic conditions affecting the brachial plexus.
TOPICS
- Electrodiagnostic Assessment of the Brachial Plexus
- Ultrasound Assessment of the Brachial Plexus
- Brachial Plexus Anatomy
- Scan Techniques
- Normal Brachial Plexus Sonographic Anatomy
- Ultrasound Evaluation of Brachial Plexus Nerve Pathology
