Nerve ultrasound has rapidly developed into becoming a more precise and easily applied diagnosis tool. People suffering from injuries of peripheral nerves and require reconstructive plastic surgery often have a long history of woe and many operations behind them. Today, with nerve ultrasound, this time of woe can be extremely truncated, as the ultrasound-supported view into the neural pathways helps to take more precise and faster measures during diagnosis as well as therapy. With their research at the clinical divisions for neuro-radiology and muscular-skeletal radiology (Management of the nerve ultrasound research team: Gerd Bodner), MedUni Vienna has substantially participated in the speedy development of these new sonography methods.
