MR Neurography – Diagnostic Criteria to Determine Lesions of Peripheral Nerves

July 6, 2013 by
MR Neurography is an excellent technique for visualization and evaluation of peripheral nerve disorders. In their article Philipp Bäumer et al. (Heidelberg University Hospital, Heidelberg, Germany) show high resolution intra-neural fascicular detail in both normal and abnormal states and cover different aspects including clinical indications, protocols, pitfalls, and useful applications.

Traumatic Lesion of the Left Brachial Plexus

July 5, 2013 by
To diagnose peripheral neurologic deficits, imaging of the vertebral disks alone may not be sufficient. Depending on the clinical symptoms, the nerve roots themselves need to be evaluated in detail. In the presented case of a traumatic lesion of the brachial plexus, Markus Lentschig, MD (MR and PET/CT Center, Bremen, Germany) presents his 1.5 T imaging protocol for the evaluation of the cervical nerve roots and brachial plexus.
