Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study is to ascertain the role of ultrasonography in appraising the structural intricacies of peripheral nerve pathologies.

Objectives: (1) To scrutinize the anatomy of both normal and abnormal peripheral nerves. (2) Assess different parameters like continuity of the nerve, echotexture, vascularity, cross-sectional area, and thickness of the nerve in various pathologies.

Methods and materials: In a prospective observational study conducted at the Department of Radio Diagnosis, Tertiary Care Centre, the study design focused on the examination of 200 cases utilizing a high-resolution 9-14 Mhz and 17 Mhz linear array transducer, integrated into the Aplio 400 Canon Ultrasound System.

Results: Among the total cases, 62 were identified as traumatic neuropathy cases, 52 as entrapment neuropathy cases, 14 as infective neuropathy cases, 54 as thermal neuropathy cases, 14 as metabolic neuropathy cases, and 4 as nerve-tumor cases.

Conclusions: In conclusion, this investigation illuminates the dynamic role of ultrasonography as an invaluable diagnostic instrument in appraising peripheral nerve pathologies. The noninvasive attributes, widespread availability, and economic viability of ultrasonography render it a pragmatic choice for clinicians. This inquiry buttresses the escalating significance of ultrasonography within neurology, emphasizing its potential to revolutionize the terrain of peripheral nerve pathology assessment.

超声波在评估周围神经病变中的作用：200 个病例的研究。

目的：（1）仔细检查正常和异常周围神经的解剖结构。(2）评估神经的连续性、回声纹理、血管性、横截面积和神经厚度等不同参数在各种病变中的表现：在三级医疗中心放射诊断部进行的一项前瞻性观察研究中，研究设计的重点是利用集成在 Aplio 400 佳能超声系统中的高分辨率 9-14 Mhz 和 17 Mhz 线性阵列换能器对 200 个病例进行检查：结果：在所有病例中，有 62 例被确定为创伤性神经病，52 例为卡压性神经病，14 例为感染性神经病，54 例为热性神经病，14 例为代谢性神经病，4 例为神经肿瘤：总之，这项调查揭示了超声波检查作为一种宝贵的诊断工具在评估周围神经病变方面所发挥的动态作用。超声波检查的无创特性、普及性和经济可行性使其成为临床医生的务实之选。这项研究证实了超声波成像技术在神经病学领域日益重要的地位，并强调了它在周围神经病理评估领域的革命性潜力。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Clinical Ultrasound (JCU) is an international journal dedicated to the worldwide dissemination of scientific information on diagnostic and therapeutic applications of medical sonography. The scope of the journal includes--but is not limited to--the following areas: sonography of the gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary tract, vascular system, nervous system, head and neck, chest, breast, musculoskeletal system, and other superficial structures; Doppler applications; obstetric and pediatric applications; and interventional sonography. Studies comparing sonography with other imaging modalities are encouraged, as are studies evaluating the economic impact of sonography. Also within the journal''s scope are innovations and improvements in instrumentation and examination techniques and the use of contrast agents. JCU publishes original research articles, case reports, pictorial essays, technical notes, and letters to the editor. The journal is also dedicated to being an educational resource for its readers, through the publication of review articles and various scientific contributions from members of the editorial board and other world-renowned experts in sonography.
