Overview
High resolution ultrasound and MRI assess peripheral nerve structure and pathology. Imaging complements electrodiagnostic studies for diagnosis and surgical planning. Accurate localization guides targeted interventions.
Ultrasound Advantages
Ultrasound provides dynamic assessment and high resolution of superficial nerves. It detects entrapment neuromas and traumatic injury. Real time guidance supports injections and perineural procedures.
MR Neurography
MR neurography visualizes nerve course signal and surrounding structures in detail. It is useful for plexus and deep nerve evaluation. Advanced sequences improve lesion detection and characterization.
Clinical Integration
Imaging findings correlate with clinical and electrodiagnostic data to guide management. Preoperative imaging informs surgical approach and prognosis. Multidisciplinary collaboration improves outcomes.
