Abstract

MR neurography (MRN) techniques continue to evolve, leading to a better demonstration of peripheral nerve anatomy and pathology. This article discusses various technical perspectives and provides recommendations to obtain the best possible high-resolution imaging of the peripheral nerves in various areas of the body. We also discuss technical perspectives of whole-body MRN and its potential utility.
