“All Roads Lead to Rome”

Interactive workshop with hands-on teaching

Register Here

Participants learn:
  • how to find and assess peripheral nerves – the big and the small ones no matter where they are located in the body based on our “landmark technique”.
  • the clinical impact of nerve sonography as a first line diagnostic tool for peripheral nerve pathology.
  • about the role of high resolution nerve ultrasound in special peripheral nerve pathologies as e.g. polyneuropathies, inflammatory neuropathies and nerve trauma.
  • about ultrasound guided minimal-invasive surgery options in compression neuropathies and MSK conditions.
  • the new hype in MSK-sonography: Tenex-treatments.
  • by hands-on training under individual tutorials how peripheral nerve and MSK songraphy works: “try it out”!
Target audience
  • Doctors-to-Doctor training and medical specialists with an interest in nerve and musculoskeletal (MSK) sonography.
