The diagnosis is usually suspected clinically and then confirmed using electrophysiology. Yet electrodiagnostic studies lack precise anatomical delineation and often cannot determine the underlying cause of the peripheral neuropathy. However, thanks to recent technological advances, high-resolution ultrasound (HRUS) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging have emerged as exceptional modalities to identify the exact site of pathology and demonstrate the underlying etiology. These developments have led to a multimodality approach to peripheral nerve disorders. Imaging provides anatomical and morphological information while functional evaluation remains derived from electrodiagnostic study. This article reviews the HRUS features of common as well as less frequent peripheral nerve disorders: entrapment neuropathies, traumatic injuries, neuralgic amyotrophy, polyneuropathies, and nerve tumors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0044-1790528","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,19]],"date-time":"2024-11-19T23:30:28Z","timestamp":1732059028000},"page":"708-717","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["High-resolution Ultrasound of Peripheral Nerve Disorders"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"28","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3035-7006","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thomas","family":"Le Corroller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Radiology Department, APHM, Marseille, France"},{"name":"Aix-Marseille University, CNRS, ISM UMR 7287, Marseille, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,19]]},"reference":[{"issue":"07","key":"ref1","first-page":"1591","article-title":"Prevalence of lower-extremity disease in the US adult population >= 40 years of age with and without diabetes: 1999\u20132000 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey","volume":"27","author":"E W Gregg","year":"2004","journal-title":"Diabetes Care"},{"issue":"04","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"532","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mayocp.2015.01.018","article-title":"Neuropathic pain: principles of diagnosis and treatment","volume":"90","author":"I Gilron","year":"2015","journal-title":"Mayo Clin Proc"},{"issue":"01","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"104","DOI":"10.1186\/s13244-019-0787-6","article-title":"Can imaging be the new yardstick for diagnosing peripheral neuropathy?
