This first of its kind richly illustrated book provides a tabular and schematic representation
of all the peripheral nerves in the human body using a standardized landmark-based algorithm
for the definition of the nerve¿s ¿Point of optimal visibility (POV)¿. In this atlas the nerves
of the human body are depicted with high-frequent ultrasound probes with frequencies up to 24
MHz: it presents not only the ¿known¿ large nerves (N. ischiadicus N. femoralis N. medianus
etc.) but also the tiny nerves you have learned in your anatomy sessions but forgotten in the
course of time! Based on clear illustrations using palpaple visible external and easily
accessible internal landmarks it offers ¿nerve sonographers¿ a clear sonoanatomic guidance on
how to easily find the nerve. Additionally it describes the exact positioning of the probe so
that each nerve can be found at its point of optimal visibility. These mental maps for nerve
sonographeurs are intended not only for beginners but also for ¿advanced¿ specialists requiring
instructions on how to easily find even tiny peripheral nerves: especially for neurologists
anaesthesiologists radiologists pain practionioners rheumatologists and surgeons who seek a
clear standardized step by step manual on ¿Where do I find a nerve the easiest?¿
