    This document provides an illustrated guide to performing ultrasound on the lower limbs, including the hip, thigh, knee, and leg. It lists over 50 anatomical structures and landmarks to image with ultrasound in both long and short axis views. The structures are organized by anatomical region, including the anterior, medial, and posterior aspects of the hip, thigh, knee, and leg. Key areas highlighted include the quadriceps and hamstring muscles, hip joints, femoral and tibial nerves, blood vessels, and tendons around the knee and ankle.
