Guidelines for neuromuscular ultrasound training

Abstract: Neuromuscular ultrasound has become an essential tool in the diagnostic evaluation of various neuromuscular disorders, and, as such, there is growing interest in neuromuscular ultrasound training. Effective training is critical in mastering this modality. Our aim was to develop consensus‐based guidelines for neuromuscular ultrasound training courses. A total of 18 experts participated. Expert opinion was sought through the Delphi method using 4 consecutive electronic surveys. A high degree of consensus was ach… Show more

“…By providing an estimation of the benefit of US in everyday practice, we hope this study will encourage more neuromuscular physicians to integrate US into routine clinical care. It could also contribute information that may help to finalize formal recommendations and guidelines for US use and training 11,12 . Future studies may wish to investigate the relative influence of neuromuscular US in a broader spectrum of disesases, to help formulate new protocols and practice guidelines, and to improve diagnostic yield.…”

“…Specific hands‐on training in muscle ultrasound is not yet a part of standard clinical neurophysiology training programs. An international consensus‐based guideline statement for neuromuscular ultrasound training was recently published 72 to help establish a core curriculum, in which visual muscle ultrasound recognition and grading is considered one of the basic techniques. For those seeking to learn, the American Association of Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine (AANEM) and International Society of Peripheral Neurophysiologic Imaging (ISPNI) organize yearly courses and conference meetings on nerve and muscle ultrasound, and some specialized centers offer training possibilities for visiting clinicians.…”

“…Standards für die klinisch-ärztliche Ausbildung zur Erlernung der Technik der Nervensonografie sowie für einheitliche Untersuchungsprotokolle werden aktuell sowohl national als auch international von führenden Experten im Feld erarbeitet [4,5]. Es besteht internationale Einigkeit über die Notwendigkeit der kombinierten (Grund-)Kenntnisse aus nervaler Anatomie, elektrophysiologischer Diagnostik und Nervensonografie [4].…”

“…Standards für die klinisch-ärztliche Ausbildung zur Erlernung der Technik der Nervensonografie sowie für einheitliche Untersuchungsprotokolle werden aktuell sowohl national als auch international von führenden Experten im Feld erarbeitet [4,5]. Es besteht internationale Einigkeit über die Notwendigkeit der kombinierten (Grund-)Kenntnisse aus nervaler Anatomie, elektrophysiologischer Diagnostik und Nervensonografie [4]. Die Fähigkeit des trainierten Untersuchers sowohl sonografisch verschiedene Nervenabschnitte aufzufinden als auch deren Pathologie zu erkennen soll dabei in Form verschiedener Expertenlevels ("basic", "intermediate", "advanced") widergespiegelt werden [4].…”
