This first of its kind richly illustrated book provides a tabular and schematic representation of all the peripheral nerves in the human body using a standardized landmark-based algorithm for the definition of the nerve’s “Point of optimal visibility (POV)”. In this atlas the nerves of the human body are depicted with high-frequent ultrasound probes with frequencies up to 24 MHz: it presents not only the “known” large nerves (N. ischiadicus, N. femoralis, N. medianus etc.), but also the tiny nerves you have learned in your anatomy sessions but forgotten in the course of time! Based on clear illustrations using palpaple/visible external and easily accessible internal landmarks, it offers “nerve sonographers” a clear sonoanatomic guidance on how to easily find the nerve. Additionally, it describes the exact positioning of the probe so that each nerve can be found at its point of optimal visibility. These mental maps for nerve sonographeurs are intended not only for beginners but also for “advanced” specialists requiring instructions on how to easily find even tiny peripheral nerves: especially for neurologists, anaesthesiologists, radiologists, pain practionioners, rheumatologists and surgeons who seek a clear standardized step by step manual on “Where do I find a nerve the easiest?”

This book provides a comprehensive, image-rich guide to ultrasound-guided simplified intra-arterial embolization (called "Dochu" procedure), making it an essential resource not only for interventional radiologists, but also pain specialists, sports physicians, orthopedic surgeons, and  physicians for general practice. Unlike traditional catheter-based techniques, this innovative approach streamlines embolization, enhancing efficiency, accessibility, and patient comfort.By addressing the gap in standardized education, this book offers step-by-step procedural guidance, detailed case studies, and high-resolution imaging, enabling readers to master this technique with confidence. Whether you are an experienced practitioner or a newcomer to embolization, this resource bridges the knowledge divide, equipping you with cutting-edge insights and practical skills to revolutionize non-surgical pain treatment.
