AB  - Optimizing  an  image  produced  by  ultrasound  is  an  essential  skill  for  performance  of  an  ultrasound-guided  nerve  block.  Anatomically,  peripheral  nerves  are  often  located  in  the  vicinity  of  an  artery  or  between  muscle  layers.  The  echo  texture  of  normal  peripheral  nerves  can  have  a  hyperechoic,  hypoechoic,  or  honeycomb  pattern  (Figure  27-1).  Several  scanning  steps  and  techniques  can  be  used  to  facilitate  adequate  nerve  imaging,  including  the  selection  of  sonographic  modes,  adjustment  of  function  keys,  needle  visualization,  and  interpretation  of  image  artifacts.
