Unveiling the power of imaging techniques: comparing high-resolution ultrasound and functional MR neurography in peripheral nervous system pathology: a short communication

MRI and ultrasonography are used for diagnosing and helping manage peripheral nervous system pathologies. Multiple studies have compared the diagnostic accuracy of these two modalities, but the results can vary depending on the specific conditions being evaluated. In general, high-resolution ultraso...

description MRI and ultrasonography are used for diagnosing and helping manage peripheral nervous system pathologies. Multiple studies have compared the diagnostic accuracy of these two modalities, but the results can vary depending on the specific conditions being evaluated. In general, high-resolution ultrasound is considered a reliable and accurate tool for evaluating peripheral nerves, with high sensitivity and specificity. High-resolution ultrasound and functional MR neurography are both noninvasive imaging techniques used to evaluate nerve structures in the body. However, they differ in several technical aspects like imaging modality, spatial resolution, field of view, image quality, and accessibility. Establishing consensus on image acquisition techniques, and reporting formats to facilitate effective communication and comparison of results will further enhance the outcomes. The use of advanced ultrasound techniques, such as contrast-enhanced ultrasound, elastography, and ultrasound biomicroscopy, should be promoted for better visualization and characterization of nervous tissues, like transcranial Doppler for cerebrovascular evaluation.
