OBJECTIVE
This study was performed to examine the sonoelastographic features of the radial nerve in healthy subjects.
METHODS
In this observational cross-sectional study, shear wave elastography was used to evaluate the radial nerve. The cross-sectional area and stiffness were measured.
RESULTS
The study included 37 nerves in 20 healthy adult subjects. The mean cross-sectional area of the radial nerve at the arm was 6.1 mm. The mean stiffness of the radial nerve in the short axis was 30.3 kPa, and that in the long axis was 34.9 kPa. The elasticity measurements were significantly different between the long axis and short axis.
CONCLUSION
The elastic modulus of the radial nerve was studied in healthy subjects and can serve as a reference for future assessment of different radial nerve pathologies.
目的
本研究旨在检查健康受试者桡神经的超声弹性成像特征。
方法
在这项观察性横断面研究中，使用剪切波弹性成像评估桡神经。测量其横截面积和硬度。
结果
该研究纳入了20名健康成年受试者的37条神经。手臂处桡神经的平均横截面积为6.1平方毫米。桡神经短轴的平均硬度为30.3千帕，长轴的平均硬度为34.9千帕。长轴和短轴的弹性测量结果存在显著差异。
结论
对健康受试者的桡神经弹性模量进行了研究，可为未来评估不同桡神经病变提供参考。
