AB Lazzaro  Spallanzani  is  credited  with  the  initial  discovery  of  ultrasound  (US)  navigation  by  bats  in  1790.  But  it  was  Pierre  Curie’s  invention  of  the  US-generating  piezoelectric  crystal  that  heralded  further  development  of  US  technology.  Following  its  utilization  in  medical  imaging  and  guidance,  US  imaging  has  seen  tremendous  progress  in  its  applications  and  technology  in  the  last  5  decades.  Recent  years  have  seen  a  surge  in  the  use  of  US  for  diagnosis  and  therapeutic  interventions  in  regional  anesthesia.  US  is  now  making  progress  in  the  field  of  pain  medicine  because  of  its  utility  both  in  the  diagnosis  of  several  nerve,  muscle,  and  joint  pathologies  and  for  the  ability  to  see  the  target  and  the  needle  for  injection  of  therapeutic  substances  (Table  3-1).
