This course aims to review the utility of various imaging modalities in the diagnosis of neuromuscular disorders, with a focus on neuromuscular ultrasound. Characteristic findings of entrapment and inflammatory neuropathies and myopathies on neuromuscular ultrasound will be reviewed. The utility of MRI in the evaluation of suspected hereditary myopathies, with a focus on the pediatric age group, will be illustrated. Lastly, we will review the role of point of care neuromuscular ultrasound as an adjunct in the evaluation of neuromuscular diaphragmatic weakness.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe the role of neuromuscular ultrasound in the evaluation of entrapment and inflammatory neuropathies
  • Recognize characteristic findings of entrapment and inflammatory neuropathies on neuromuscular ultrasound
  • Describe the role of neuromuscular ultrasound in the evaluation of myopathies
  • Recognize the utility of MRI in the evaluation of suspected hereditary myopathy
  • Outline the role of neuromuscular ultrasound in the evaluation of neuromuscular diaphragmatic weakness
