The International Society of Peripheral Neurophysiological Imaging: pioneering innovation in a multidisciplinary context

Change occurs at an increasingly fast pace in medicine. A decade ago, peripheral nerve ultrasound was a relative novelty, but a select group of clinicians saw promise in integrating anatomical information with the problems they encountered in everyday practice. Neurologists, physiatrists, rheumatologists, radiologists and others published their observations and the field expanded. A MEDLINE database search demonstrates a progressive increase in the number of nerve ultrasound publications each year, confirming growing interest.
