Peripheral nerve ultrasound applications for diagnostic nerve imaging
This peripheral nerve ultrasound applications course from Gulfcoast addresses the principles and clinical applications of nerve imaging with ultrasound. Seven topics cover the foundational knowledge — scanning techniques, normal anatomy, and echotexture assessment — before moving into electrodiagnostic comparison and the specific evaluation of foot and ankle focal neuropathies, nerve trauma, neuromas, scarring, and tumors.

Inside this resource
Nerve imaging principles and scanning technique
The course opens with the principles of imaging peripheral nerves with ultrasound — how to identify nerve structures, optimize image settings, and apply scanning techniques for reliable nerve visualization. Normal peripheral nerve anatomy and the use of anatomic landmarks for consistent identification are covered alongside the distinction between normal and abnormal nerve echotexture.
Electrodiagnostic comparison and clinical applications
A comparison of electrodiagnostic testing versus ultrasound addresses the complementary roles each modality plays in nerve evaluation. The final module focuses on foot and ankle focal neuropathies — covering nerve trauma, nerve injury grading, neuroma identification, nerve scarring assessment, and the evaluation of peripheral nerve masses and tumors.
Who this serves
- Neurologists — strengthen nerve imaging interpretation alongside electrodiagnostic findings
- Sonographers — develop competency in peripheral nerve scanning technique and echotexture assessment
- Orthopedists and podiatrists — add foot and ankle nerve evaluation to the MSK ultrasound toolkit

Tom H. –
Content is solid but I would have liked more case examples of nerve masses and tumors. The principles and scanning technique sections are the strongest part.
Cathy N. –
Good progression from principles through clinical application. The electrodiagnostic comparison session provides useful context for when to use each modality.
Wei L. –
The foot and ankle focal neuropathy module is thorough — nerve trauma, neuromas, and scarring are all addressed. Good reference for complex nerve cases.
Marcus J. –
Excellent overview of nerve ultrasound principles. The echotexture assessment section clarified the distinction between normal and abnormal nerve appearance.
Hannah M. –
Downloaded for the anatomic landmarks module. The systematic approach to nerve identification using landmarks is practical and well-organized.
