Abstract
|
|
|
|
Ultrasound is a painless and one of the least invasive methods of medical diagnostic testing, which enables visualization of the anatomy of nerves as well as surrounding structures. Over the past decades, researchers have investigated the ultrasonographic changes that occur in the nerves and muscles of patients with motor neuron disease. The current article reviews the sonographic findings that are helpful in the diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The utility of ultrasound in the assessment of respiratory function has also been described.
