Patients were requested for MRI of their brachial plexus. They were referred for imaging and the imaging results were presented to the faculty and housestaff. Our technique was accepted and adopted to begin referrals for MRI evaluation of brachial plexopathy. Over 175 patients have been studied. Eighty\u2010five patients were imaged with the 1.5 Tesla magnet (Signa; General Electric Medical Systems, Milwaukee, WI) 3\u2010D reconstruction MRI. Coronal, transverse (axial), oblique transverse, and sagittal plane T1\u2010weighted and selected T2\u2010weighted pulse sequences were obtained at 4\u20135 mm slice thickness, 40\u201345 full field of view, and a 512 \u00d7 256 size matrix. Saline water bags were used to enhance the signal between the neck and the thorax. Sites of brachial plexus compromise were demonstrated. Our technique with 3\u2010D reconstruction increased the definition of brachial plexus pathology. The increased anatomical definition enabled the vascular surgeons and neurosurgeons to improve patient care. Brachial plexus <jats:italic>in vivo<\/jats:italic> anatomy as displayed by MRI, magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), and 3\u2010D reconstruction offered an opportunity to augment the teaching of clinical anatomy to medical students and health professionals. Selected case presentations (body builder, anomalous muscle, fractured clavicle, thyroid goiter, silicone breast implant rupture, and cervical rib) demonstrated compromise of the brachial plexus displayed by MRI. The MRI and 3\u2010D reconstruction techniques, demonstrating the bilateral landmark anatomy, increased the definition of the clinical anatomy and resulted in greater knowledge of patient care management. \u00a9 1995 WiIey\u2010Liss, Inc.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ca.980080102","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,2,24]],"date-time":"2005-02-24T00:53:22Z","timestamp":1109206402000},"page":"1-16","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":44,"title":["Compromising abnormalities of the brachial plexus as displayed by magnetic resonance imaging"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"James D.","family":"Collins","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marla L.","family":"Shaver","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anthony C.","family":"Disher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Theodore Q.","family":"Miller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,1,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","volume-title":"Gray's Anatomy","author":"Clemente C.
