innervation to the upper extremity, shoulder, and upper chest. Owing to its complex form and …

Background Traumatic brachial plexus injuries affect 1% of patients involved in major
trauma. MRI is the best test for traumatic brachial plexus injuries, although its ability to …

Delineation of architecture of peripheral nerves can be successfully achieved by high-
resolution ultrasound (US), which is essential for US-guided pain management. There are …

Distinguishing from other traditional imaging, synchrotron radiation microcomputed
tomography (SR-μCT) imaging allows for the visualization of three-dimensional objects of …

Neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome (nTOS) is caused by compression of the brachial
plexus as it traverses from the thoracic outlet to the axilla. Diagnosing nTOS can be difficult …

Examination of the brachial plexus with ultrasound is efficient because it allows many parts
of the brachial plexus as well as the surrounding soft tissues to be assessed with high …

There are a variety of imaging modalities for evaluation of peripheral nerves. Of these,
ultrasonography (US) is often underused. There are several advantages of this imaging …

Multimodality imaging of the brachial plexus is essential to accurately localize the lesion and
characterize the pathology and site of injury. A combination of computed tomography (CT) …

Background and Objectives The “stoplight” sign is a frequently described image during
ultrasound-guided interscalene block, referring to 3 hypoechoic structures found between …

Background and objectives Ultrasonography of the brachial plexus (BP) has been described
but there are limited data on visualization of the T1 ventral ramus and the inferior trunk. This …
