MR neurography (MRN) has increasingly been used in clinical practice for the evaluation of peripheral nerve disease. This article reviews the historic perspective of MRN, the current imaging trends of this modality, and the future directions and applications that have shown potential for improved imaging and diagnostic capabilities.
MRN has come a long way in the past 2 decades. Excellent depiction of 3D nerve anatomy and pathology is currently possible. Further technical developments in diffusion-based nerve and muscle imaging, whole-body MRN, and nerve-specific MR contrast agents will likely play a major role in advancing this novel field and understanding peripheral neuromuscular diseases in the years to come.
磁共振神经成像（MRN）在临床实践中越来越多地用于评估周围神经疾病。本文回顾了 MRN 的历史发展，该技术目前的成像趋势，以及具有潜在改善成像和诊断能力的未来方向和应用。
在过去的 20 年里，MRN 已经取得了长足的进步。目前可以很好地显示 3D 神经解剖和病理。基于扩散的神经和肌肉成像、全身 MRN 和神经特异性磁共振对比剂的进一步技术发展，可能在未来几年推动这一新兴领域和对周围神经肌肉疾病的认识方面发挥重要作用。
