The echotexture of normal nerve shows a hyperechoic, hypoechoic, or honeycomb pattern (Figure 29–1).1,2 There are several scanning steps to obtain adequate nerve imaging, including the selection of sonographic modes, adjustment of function keys, needle visualization, and interpretation of image artifacts.
