  • High-resolution ultrasonography in the diagnosis and intraoperative management of peripheral nerve lesions.

    Lee FC, Singh H, Nazarian LN, Ratliff JK. J Neurosurg. 2011; 114 (1): 206-11

    The diagnosis of peripheral nerve lesions relies on clinical history, physical examination, electrodiagnostic studies, and radiography. Magnetic resonance neurography offers high-resolution visualization of structural peripheral nerve lesions. The availability of MR neurography may be limited, and the costs can be significant. By comparison, ultrasonography is a portable, dynamic, and economic technology. The authors explored the clinical applicability of high-resolution ultrasonography in the preoperative and intraoperative management of peripheral nerve lesions.
