Novel methods of measurement using internal comparisons to identify swelling of the median nerve require investigation and comparison to currently used techniques.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The flattening ratio of the median nerve, bowing of the flexor retinaculum, and cross\u2010sectional area of the median nerve were collected in the forearm, at the radiocarpal joint, and at the level of the pisiform in both symptomatic patients and asymptomatic control participants. Electrodiagnostic testing was completed in symptomatic patients as a diagnostic standard.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Median nerve measurements were collected from 166 wrists of symptomatic and asymptomatic participants. The flattening ratio did not show any correlation to electrodiagnostic testing and was identical between both symptomatic and asymptomatic participants. Moderate to strong correlations were noted between electrodiagnostic testing results and sonographic measurements of the cross\u2010sectional area at the pisiform, retinacular bowing, and both the ratio and change of the cross\u2010sectional area between the forearm and pisiform. The area under the curve was large for all receiver operating characteristic curves for each measurement (0.759\u20130.899), and sensitivity was high (80.4%\u201382.4%).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Measurement of swelling through a ratio or absolute change had similar diagnostic accuracy as individual measurement of the cross\u2010sectional area within the carpal tunnel. These measures may be useful for improving accuracy in more diverse clinical populations. Further refinement of protocols to identify the largest cross\u2010sectional area within the carpal tunnel region and statistical methods to analyze clustered, multilevel outcome data are recommended to improve diagnostics.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.7863\/jum.2011.30.12.1657","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,9]],"date-time":"2017-01-09T16:28:08Z","timestamp":1483979288000},"page":"1657-1667","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":48,"title":["Screening
