Abstract
Abstract: Peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs) represent a complex clinical challenge, necessitating precise diagnostic approaches for optimal management. Traditional diagnostic methods often fall short in accurately assessing nerve recovery as these methods rely on the completion of nerve reinnervation, which can prolong a patient's treatment. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), a noninvasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique, has emerged as a promising tool in this context. DTI offers unique advantages including the ability to quantify nerve recovery and provide in vivo visualizations of neuronal architecture. Therefore, this review aims to examine and outline DTI techniques and its utility in detecting distal nerve regeneration in both preclinical and clinical settings for peripheral nerve injury.
期刊介绍：
The only independent journal devoted to general plastic and reconstructive surgery, Annals of Plastic Surgery serves as a forum for current scientific and clinical advances in the field and a sounding board for ideas and perspectives on its future. The journal publishes peer-reviewed original articles, brief communications, case reports, and notes in all areas of interest to the practicing plastic surgeon. There are also historical and current reviews, descriptions of surgical technique, and lively editorials and letters to the editor.
