Magnetic Resonance Neurography Evaluation in Children
نویسندگان
چکیده
Magnetic Resonance Neurography has proven to be an excellent technique for the evaluation of peripheral neuropathies. However, its use in pediatric age group has been less well described. In this article, the authors discuss the technical considerations, various common causes of peripheral neuropathies in children* and the role of magnetic resonance neurography in their diagnosis and management.

[High resolution (3 T) magnetic resonance neurography of the sciatic nerve].
Magnetic resonance (MR) neurography refers to a set of techniques that enable the structure of the peripheral nerves and nerve plexuses to be evaluated optimally. New two-dimensional and three-dimensional neurographic sequences, in particular in 3T scanners, achieve excellent contrast between the nerve and perineural structures. MR neurography makes it possible to distinguish between the normal...

BACKGROUND Sciatica without evidence of lumbosacral root compression is often attributed to piriformis syndrome. However, specific diagnostic tools have not been available to demonstrate sciatic nerve entrapment by the piriformis muscle. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the use of magnetic resonance (MR) neurography in identifying abnormalities of the sciatic nerve in patients with unexplained sciatica....

متن کاملMagnetic resonance neurography for cervical radiculopathy: a preliminary report.
Magnetic resonance neurography was used to directly image cervical spinal nerves in patients with clinical and radiographic evidence of cervical radiculopathy. A magnetic resonance imaging phased-array coil system was used to obtain high-resolution coronal T1-weighted spin echo, coronal/axial T2-weighted fast spin echo with fat saturation, and coronal/axial fast short tau inversion recovery wei...
