The first unit of the Point Of Care Ultrasound course in Neurology covers the basics of ultrasound physics, focusing on how ultrasound waves interact with different structures in the body to generate images. It explains the formation of ultrasound waves, terminology used in ultrasound, different ultrasound probes, artifacts produced, and the various modes of ultrasound imaging.

The first unit of the point of care ultrasound course in neurology delves into the basics of ultrasound physics, emphasizing its crucial role in assessing neuromuscular disorders like dystrophy and dystonia. The chapter explores the formation of ultrasound waves, terminology, B mode usage, and the interpretation of ultrasound images based on wave interactions with different structures in the body.

Ultrasound probes vary in frequency for different imaging depths, with low frequency probes for deeper structures and high frequency probes for superficial tissues. Various artifacts like reverberation and weak echoes can affect ultrasound imaging quality.

Exploration of ultrasound anatomy focusing on skin layers, epidermis, dermis, subcutaneous tissue, muscles, nerves, and guidance techniques like B mode imaging, orientation, and needle guidance for accurate visualization. Emphasis on understanding distinct structures and proper technique for effective ultrasound imaging.
