Abstract

Magnetic resonance (MR) neurography and high-resolution ultrasound are complementary modalities for imaging peripheral nerves. Advances in imaging technology and optimized techniques allow for detailed assessment of nerve anatomy and nerve pathologic condition. Diagnostic accuracy of imaging modalities likely reflects local expertise and availability of the latest imaging technology.

Keywords: MRI; Neuropathy; Peripheral nerve; Ultrasound.
