Neuromuscular Ultrasound: Improve your Diagnostic Accuracy

In this educational talk, Prof. Nens van Alfen and Dr. Alexandra Borchert, moderated by Dr. Guillaume Fargeot, will discuss the added value of neuromuscular ultrasound for diagnosing patients with inflammatory neuropathies and motor neuron diseases. Ultrasound imaging of nerves and muscles is a recent addition to the diagnostic toolkit of the neurologist, physiatrist and nerve surgeon. In addition to its use as a primary diagnostic tool for entrapment neuropathies, imaging has been shown to augment your diagnostic capabilities in a significant way, making it easier to identify patients with treatable inflammatory neuropathies and creating more certainty for an amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) diagnosis. Using case-based scenarios, Prof. van Alfen and Dr. Borchert will show how your diagnostic practice can benefit from ultrasound.
