It aims to demonstrate the advantages of B-Mode ultrasound, including its non-invasive nature and its ability to provide real-time imaging, in localizing nerve compression and predicting postoperative outcomes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study included 40 patients who were subjected to preoperative B-ultrasonography. The approach focused on evaluating the consistency of B-Mode ultrasound results with intraoperative findings. It also assessed the importance of employing standardized imaging techniques and emphasized the need for cooperation between hand surgeons and sonographers for accurate diagnosis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>B-Mode ultrasound findings in the study were consistent with intraoperative observations, indicating its reliability. Additionally, B-Mode ultrasound was able to identify other anatomical abnormalities within the carpal canal that may contribute to CTS symptoms, such as persistent median arteries, median nerve bifurcation, and space-occupying lesions like cysts and tumors.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The article concludes that B-Mode ultrasound should be considered a valuable supplementary diagnostic tool for CTS, particularly in instances where clinical signs and electrophysiological studies do not offer clear results. However, it should not replace established diagnostic methods for CTS.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fneur.2024.1325464","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,29]],"date-time":"2024-01-29T14:12:16Z","timestamp":1706537536000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["B-Mode
