After reviewing this exhibit, the viewer will be able to: 1. Describe the course of the peripheral nerves of the upper extremity, including their motor and sensory innervation. 2. List the important anatomical landmarks and transducer position used to locate the peripheral nerves of the upper extremity when performing sonographic evaluation 3. Describe how US is useful for the evaluation of the upper extremity nerves 4. Discuss the importance of dynamic imaging when evaluating for peripheral nerve entrapment  

Outline: I. Background   1. Clinical impact   2. Correlation to electrodiagnostic studies II. Technical considerations III. Normal US anatomy with correlation to MRI or illustrations   1. Median nerve   2. Ulnar nerve   3. Radial nerve       Deep and superficial branches
