High-Resolution Imaging of Upper Limb Neuropathies

Abstract

MRI of the peripheral nerves continues to grow technologically and in clinical use. This article reviews the technological aspects and basic interpretation of high-resolution MR imaging of the upper extremity nerves. These techniques work with 1.5-, or preferably 3-T, scanners regardless of vendors. The article also includes selected pitfalls in the interpretation of upper extremity nerve MRI.

Keywords

neurography - peripheral nerve MRI - upper extremity neuropathy - upper extremity entrapments
