Nerve ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of neuropathy

Purpose of review This review summarizes the most relevant developments in the fields of nerve ultrasound and MRI in the diagnosis of treatable inflammatory neuropathies over the last 18 months. Recent findings MRI and nerve ultrasound can accurately identify potentially treatable neuropathies and thereby help to improve diagnosis. Advanced MRI techniques also show potential to dissect pathophysiology. The apparent mismatch between nerve function and morphology is not surprising and reflects different dimensions of the disease process in neuropathies. Summary MRI and nerve ultrasound have become useful tools in the diagnosis of inflammatory neuropathies. Video Abstract https://ift.tt/2PPzatx
