Abstract
Context:
Correct diagnosis of peripheral nerve lesions helps in accurate guidance for managing patients. The diagnostic procedure involves history taking, clinical examination, and electrodiagnostic tests. However, sometimes clinical and electrodiagnosis may not be definitive.
Aim:
This research aimed to assess ultrasound (US) with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for diagnosis of pathologies of peripheral nerve.
Materials and Methods:
One hundred patients diagnosed with peripheral neural pathologies were selected after obtaining ethical committee approval. Sensitivity and specificity were examined between US examination and MRI in a subset of patients.
Results:
Compared to MRI, US was found to have a greater sensitivity and specificity for detecting peripheral diseases.
Conclusion:
The study found that, in comparison to MRI, ultrasonography is a more effective auxiliary method for diagnosing peripheral nerve abnormalities.
