Magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) and ultrasonography (US) are noninvasive methods offering comprehensive visualization of peripheral nerves, using anatomical and functional imaging biomarkers to ensure accurate evaluation. For optimized MRN, superior and high-resolution two-dimensional and three-dimensional imaging protocols are essential. The anatomical MRN and US imaging markers include quantitative measures of nerve and fascicular size and signal, and qualitative markers of course and morphology. Among them, quantitative markers of T2-signal intensity ratio are sensitive to nerve edema-like signal changes, and the T1-mapping technique reveals nerve and muscle tissue fatty and fibrous compositional alterations.<\/jats:p><jats:p>The functional markers are derived from physiologic properties of nerves, such as diffusion characteristics or blood flow. They include apparent diffusion coefficient from diffusion-weighted imaging and fractional anisotropy and tractography from diffusion tensor imaging to delve into peripheral nerve microstructure and integrity. Peripheral nerve perfusion using dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging estimates perfusion parameters, offering insights into nerve health and neuropathies involving edema, inflammation, demyelination, and microvascular alterations in conditions like type 2 diabetes, linking nerve conduction pathophysiology to vascular permeability alterations.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Imaging biomarkers thus play a pivotal role in the diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring of nerve pathologies, thereby ensuring comprehensive assessment and elevating patient care. These biomarkers provide valuable insights into nerve structure, function, and pathophysiology, contributing to the accurate diagnosis and management planning for peripheral neuropathy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0043-1776427","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,8]],"date-time":"2024-02-08T23:40:13Z","timestamp":1707435613000},"page":"092-102","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Imaging
