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

Outline: I. Background   1. Clinical impact   2. Correlation to electrodiagnostic studies II. Technical considerations III. Normal US anatomy with correlation to MRI and illustrations   1.
