With advancement in 3D imaging, better fat-suppression techniques, and superior coil designs for MR imaging and the increasing availability and use of 3T magnets, the visualization of the complexity of the brachial plexus has become facile. The relevant imaging findings are described for normal and pathologic conditions of the brachial plexus. These radiologic findings are supported by clinical and/or EMG/surgical data, and corresponding high-resolution MR neurography images are illustrated. Because the brachial plexus can be affected by a plethora of pathologies, resulting in often serious and disabling complications, a better radiologic insight has great potential in aiding physicians in rendering superior services to patients.
随着 3D 成像技术的进步、更好的脂肪抑制技术以及用于磁共振成像的优质线圈设计的进步，以及 3T 磁铁的日益普及和使用，臂丛的复杂性的可视化变得轻而易举。本文描述了臂丛的正常和病理情况下的相关影像学表现。这些影像学表现得到了临床和/或 EMG/手术数据的支持，并附有相应的高分辨率磁共振神经成像图像。由于臂丛可能受到多种疾病的影响，导致严重且常常致残的并发症，因此更好的影像学认识具有为患者提供更好服务的巨大潜力。
