Echogenicity and ultrasound visibility of peripheral nerves of the upper extremity.

CONCLUSIONS: Gender, BMI and presence of diabetes were not related to echogenicity or visibility of upper extremity nerves. Increasing forearm circumference was associated with increased echogenicity of the adjacent nerves, but not visibility. Neck circumference was not associated with either nerve visibility or echogenicity of brachial plexus nerve bundles. PMID: 29730687 [PubMed - in process]
