Background: The electromyography section of OCD, NINDS is responsible for diagnosing disorders of peripheral nerves in patients enrolled in all protocols in the NIH Clinical Center. Ultrasound has often been used for assessing muscles and soft tissues. New, higher frequency probes now allow visualization of small, superficial nerves.

Requirement: OCD/NINDS requires a portable diagnostic ultrasound with high-frequency-high resolution probe that can produce frequencies up to 12MHz. The system should be able to generate hard copy printouts of images. Twelve hours of training by an individual with more than five years nerve ultra sound experience is required for 4 employees.
