High-Resolution MR Neurography of Diffuse Peripheral Nerve Lesions
AJNR 32:1365-72, Thawait, S.K.,et al, 2011
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
High-resolution MR imaging of peripheral nerves is becoming more common and practical with increasing availability of 3T magnets. There are multiple reports of MR imaging of peripheral nerves in compression and entrapment neuropathies. However, there is a relative paucity of literature on MRN appearance of diffuse peripheral nerve lesions. We attempted to highlight the salient imaging features of myriad diffuse peripheral nerve disorders and imaging techniques for MRN. Using clinical and pathologically proved relevant examples, we present the MRN appearance of various types of diffuse peripheral nerve lesions, such as traumatic, inflammatory, infectious, hereditary, radiation-induced, neoplastic, and tumor variants.
