Abstract

Peripheral nerve imaging is a powerful tool in evaluating peripheral neuropathy. This review aims to provide an overview of the anatomy, clinical significance and pathologies of small peripheral nerves, typically less than 2 mm in diameter. High frequency ultrasound probes offer the best assessment of these nerves whilst permitting real-time clinical correlation, while the role of MRI is inherently limited by spatial resolution constraints and the lack of patient contact. This review discusses techniques for sonographic identification, strategies for optimal visualization and common ultrasound-guided procedures.

“小而有力”——放射科医生的小周围神经超声成像入门。

周围神经成像是评估周围神经病变的有力工具。本文旨在综述小周围神经的解剖、临床意义和病理，通常小于2毫米直径。高频超声探头提供了对这些神经的最佳评估，同时允许实时临床相关性，而MRI的作用本质上受到空间分辨率限制和缺乏患者接触的限制。本文综述了超声识别技术、最佳可视化策略和常见超声引导手术。

期刊介绍： Skeletal Radiology provides a forum for the dissemination of current knowledge and information dealing with disorders of the musculoskeletal system including the spine. While emphasizing the radiological aspects of the many varied skeletal abnormalities, the journal also adopts an interdisciplinary approach, reflecting the membership of the International Skeletal Society. Thus, the anatomical, pathological, physiological, clinical, metabolic and epidemiological aspects of the many entities affecting the skeleton receive appropriate consideration. This is the Journal of the International Skeletal Society and the Official Journal of the Society of Skeletal Radiology and the Australasian Musculoskelelal Imaging Group.
