AB Ultrasound  application  allows  for  noninvasive  visualization  of  tissue  structures.  Real-time  ultrasound  images  are  integrated  images  resulting  from  reflection  of  organ  surfaces  and  scattering  within  heterogeneous  tissues.  Ultrasound  scanning  is  an  interactive  procedure  involving  the  operator,  patient,  and  ultrasound  instruments.  Although  the  physics  behind  ultrasound  generation,  propagation,  detection,  and  transformation  into  practical  information  is  rather  complex,  its  clinical  application  is  much  simpler.  Understanding  the  essential  ultrasound  physics  presented  in  this  chapter  should  be  useful  for  comprehending  the  principles  behind  ultrasound-guided  peripheral  nerve  blockade.
