Shortcuts for fast identification of peripheral nerves **NEW VOICE**
12:10 PM - 12:50 PMPresentation Synopsis / Abstract
Have you ever wanted a quick way to find nerves when a Radiologist asks. This presentation is a practical guide to finding commonly scanned peripheral nerves using ultrasound. It focuses on the Posterior Interosseous Nerve, Greater Occipital Nerve, and Sural Nerve, breaking each one down into simple, easy‑to‑follow steps. Rather than getting lost in complex anatomy, the aim is to use clear landmarks, patient positioning, and probe movements to make nerve identification quicker and more reliable. Each section highlights where to start, what to look for, and small tips that help confirm you’re in the right place. The approach is designed to build confidence, improve scanning efficiency, and support real‑world clinical practice for sonographers.
