Difficulty with ultrasound images using Cadwell Summit machine

David Speach2/14/19 7:38 AM (CST)
We recently purchased a Cadwell Summit EMG machine with US. We find the resolution using the US probe very poor for most structures except for the median nerve at the wrist in a thin patient. We have tried changing US frequency, depth, gain and other parameters without much improvement.

In contrast, we have Sonosite free standing US machines that provide better US quality.

Has anyone experienced this difficulty and recommend a solution?

Thanks

I enjoy participating in the AANEM Connect Forum for a number of reasons. There are very fundamental questions posed on a frequent basis that cause me to pause and ask myself, ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ Also, I continue to learn new things when others contribute their thoughts and experiences. Connect is an excellent opportunity for members to interact and to address any topic, including those that may not be discussed at an annual meeting or journal article.
