Sonografie peripherer Nerven: Sonografische Anatomie

Zusammenfassung

Eine qualitativ hochwertige Ultraschalldiagnostik erfordert neben Kenntnissen der methodischen und technischen Grundlagen v. a. umfangreiche Kenntnisse der sonografischen Anatomie. Der folgende Artikel hat zum Ziel, die sonografische Anatomie der wichtigsten peripheren Nerven sowie deren Identifizierung mithilfe von anatomischen Landmarken wie Blutgefäßen, Muskelbäuchen und Knochenvorsprüngen zu illustrieren. Anhand von Abbildungen und Videos werden die komplexen Topografien der Nerven in der Regio cervicalis lateralis, der Regio axillaris und der Regio inguinalis sowie der Nerven der oberen und unteren Extremitäten dargestellt.

Summary

High quality ultrasonography of peripheral nerves requires in addition to skills on methodology and technical aspects of ultrasound diagnostics a comprehensive knowledge of sonographic anatomy. This article aims to illustrate sonographic anatomy of the most important peripheral nerves and how to identify them by means of anatomic landmarks such as vessels, muscle bellies or bony structures. By providing figures and video sequences, this article demonstrates the complex topography of the nerves of the cervical, axillar and inguinal regions and also of the nerves of the upper and lower extremities.
