Peripheral neuropathy–clinical and electrophysiological considerations
This article is a primer on the pathophysiology and clinical evaluation of peripheral
neuropathy for the radiologist. Magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) has utility in the
diagnosis of many focal peripheral nerve lesions. When combined with history, examination,
electrophysiology, and laboratory data, future advancements in high-field MRN may play an
increasingly important role in the evaluation of patients with peripheral neuropathy.
