    [edited by] Francis O. Walker, Michael S. Cartwright.
    Summary: This book use of ultrasound as an alternative to electrodiagnosis in the evaluation of neuromuscular disorders through detailed descriptions and clear illustrations. Drs. Francis Walker and Michael S. Cartwright discuss techniques for visualizing muscles and nerves without painful testing for better patient compliance and more efficient diagnosis. This book covers the use of ultrasound as an alternative to electrodiagnosis for the evaluation of neuromuscular disorders-using illustrations to compare and contrast the two techniques. It provides lucid descriptions of how the clinical and electrodiagnostic examinations can be refined, improved, and enhanced to minimize patient discomfort and to maximize the optimal patient evaluation.
