MR Micro-Neurography and a Segmentation Protocol Applied to Diabetic Neuropathy
The aim of this study was to assess with MRI morphometric ultrastructural changes in nerves affected by diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). We used an MR micro-neurography imaging protocol and a semiautomated technique of tissue segmentation to visualize and measure the volume of internal nerve components, such as the epineurium and nerve fascicles. The tibial nerves of 16 patients affected b...
متن کاملMR neurography of a vagal neuropathy.
A 46-year-old man with a history of recurrent facial nerve palsies, right trigeminal neuralgia, and Horner syndrome presented with subacute onset of right laryngeal hemiparesis. CSF analysis revealed normal cell count and elevated protein level with albumin-cytologic dissociation. Imaging workup ruled out compressive and infiltrative causes. Magnetic resonance neurography (figures 1A and 2, A–D...
متن کاملMR Neurography in Ulnar Neuropathy as Surrogate Parameter for the Presence of Disseminated Neuropathy
PURPOSE Patients with ulnar neuropathy of unclear etiology occasionally present with lesion extension from elbow to upper arm level on MRI. This study investigated whether MRI thereby distinguishes multifocal neuropathy from focal-compressive neuropathy at the elbow. METHODS This prospective study was approved by the institutional ethics committee and written informed consent was obtained fro...
متن کاملMR Neurography: Advances
High resolution and high field magnetic resonance neurography (MR neurography, MRN) is shown to have excellent anatomic capability. There have been considerable advances in the technology in the last few years leading to various feasibility studies using different structural and functional imaging approaches in both clinical and research settings. This paper is intended to be a useful seminar f...
متن کاملMR Neurography - Imaging Peripheral Nerves
MR imaging of peripheral nerves not only allows sensitive detection of peripheral nerve abnormalities but also displays high detail of regional anatomy and improves specificity of diagnosis. The use of MR imaging for diagnosis and evaluation of peripheral nervous system disorders was initially reported in the late 1980’s. Since then, expertise gained through experience over the last decade coup...
