MR Imaging of the Sciatic Nerve and Branches
This article presents a comprehensive review of MR imaging findings of the sciatic nerve from the pelvis to the knee, highlighting key clinical and diagnostic features of various compressive, neoplastic,…
MR Neurography of the Foot and Ankle Nerves
MR neurography offers a specialized approach for detailed nerve imaging when clinical symptoms indicate involvement. Imaging peripheral nerves in the foot and ankle is demanding due to their small size…
Hand and Elbow Nerve Entrapments
Entrapment neuropathies are the result of compression, displacement, traction, or irritation of peripheral nerves due to anatomic and/or dynamic factors at specific anatomic sites. This article reviews the current magnetic…
Imaging Diagnosis of Pelvic Nerve Syndromes
Pelvic pain syndromes are common and often neuropathic, with pudendal neuralgia being the most recognized. However, other nerves from the sacral and lumbar plexus—including the iliohypogastric, ilioinguinal, genitofemoral, and posterior…
Magnetic Resonance Neurography of the Brachial Plexus
Magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) of the brachial plexus (BP) has witnessed significant technical advancements in recent years, with improved spatial and contrast resolution enabling greater demonstration of nerve detail and…
MR Imaging of Pediatric Nerve Disorders
Evaluating pediatric nerve disorders is complex due to the small size of nerves and the intricacies of nerve anatomy. This article addresses key nerve pathologies in the pediatric population, focusing…
MR Imaging of Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumors
This review focuses on localized and whole-body MR imaging features for the more common benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors of schwannomas and neurofibromas compared with malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors,…
MR Imaging of Diffuse Peripheral Neuropathy
MR neurography can aid diagnosis and management of diffuse peripheral neuropathies. Diffuse peripheral neuropathies can be due to a variety of causes, including hereditary, inflammatory/autoimmune, infectious, and secondary to systemic…
Secondary MR Imaging Features of Nerve Damage
Although electromyography is the gold standard for diagnosing muscle denervation, the role of muscle magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in the diagnosis of muscle denervation has gained clinical relevance. The MR…
Classification of Peripheral Nerve Injury
This review focuses on the critical role of MR neurography (MRN) in diagnosing and managing peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs). It emphasizes the ability of imaging to differentiate injuries that may…
