This book is very much a niche book, but for that niche, it is perfect
Peripheral nerve injuries can be very tricky, and electrodiagnostics only tell part of the story. The subset of people who have both great electrodiagnostic skills and great ultrasound skills is very small, and within that inner circle, the subset who can correlate them well is basically one person, and that is Jeff Strakowski.
I had a very tricky case of a post-operative nerve entrapment that I confirmed electrodiagnostically. Before I examined the nerve under ultrasound, I needed a resource that helped me understand the normative standards and common pathology. Thank heavens Dr. Strakowski wrote this book.
Clearly, this a go to resource for correlating electrodiagnostics with nerve ultrasound.
Thanks for writing it!

Presents the strengths and weaknesses of clinical and electrodiagnostic assessments and importance of ultrasound for confirming diagnoses. Cases that integrate the imaging information, anatomy, and clinical and electrodiagnostic findings are incorporated throughout. |
The author meticulously describes the clinical evaluation of the peripheral nerves throughout the body using high-frequency ultrasound. Evaluations include both normal and pathologic findings, as well as discussions of relevant non-neurologic tissue. The book contains an introduction to ultrasound physics, instrumentation, and image optimization. |
The text provides a highly visual tour through the multiple nerves of the shoulder, neck, and upper and lower limbs, focusing on sonographic technique and correct interpretation of findings. |
