We also attempted to identify the best approach for visualizing these structures. <jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>: Normal anatomy of the pudendal nerve was evaluated in 3 cadavers and 20 healthy volunteers proximally at the level of the ischial spine and distally with low\u2010frequency (2\u20135\u2010MH<jats:sc>Z<\/jats:sc>) and high\u2010frequency (12\u20137\u2010MH<jats:sc>Z<\/jats:sc> and 17\u20135\u2010MH<jats:sc>Z<\/jats:sc>) transducers. Two musculoskeletal radiologists performed the examinations and evaluations. Volunteers were placed in 3 different positions, which allowed different approaches (posterior, medial, and anterior transperineal). A 0\u20133 scale was used to assess nerve visibility. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>: Visualization of the pudendal nerve at the ischial spine was best when using a medial approach (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.004); the terminal branches were seen best with the anterior approach (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.002). <jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>: High\u2010resolution ultrasound (US) can identify the pudendal nerve and its terminal branches. <jats:italic>Muscle Nerve<\/jats:italic> 47:403\u2010408, 2013<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.23537","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,7,30]],"date-time":"2012-07-30T23:13:40Z","timestamp":1343690020000},"page":"403-408","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["High\u2010Resolution ultrasound of the pudendal nerve: Normal anatomy"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"47","author":[{"given":"Alberto","family":"Tagliafico","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Anatomy Department of Experimental Medicine University of Genoa Largo Rosanna Benzi 8 16132 Genoa Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maribel Miguel","family":"Perez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unit of Human Anatomy and Embryology Department of Pathology and Experimental Therapy Faculty of Medicine (C.
