Muscle ultrasonography: A diagnostic tool for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Muscle ultrasonography: A diagnostic tool for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Highlights ► Muscle ultrasound can differentiate between amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and mimics with high sensitivity and specificity. ► Ultrasound is a sensitive tool to screen for regional lower motor neuron involvement. ► Ultrasound might reduce the number of muscles that require needle examina...
