High-resolution ultrasound is a useful tool in the imaging of upper extremity nerves and depiction of morphology/structural abnormalities, with the benefits of cost-effectiveness, ease of access and capability of dynamic assessment. The focus of this review article will be sonographic assessment of pathologies of commonly imaged upper extremity nerves: radial, median and ulnar nerves.
A review of the recent literature on sonography of upper extremity nerves was performed, using databases within PubMed, Google Scholar and OVID as well as a textbook resource.
Ultrasound can provide valuable information in the assessment of the upper extremity nerves. It can demonstrate pathologies such as entrapment neuropathies, nerve tumours and traumatic nerve injuries. The sonographic features of these conditions will be discussed in this review article.
Ultrasound is a useful imaging modality to investigate upper extremity nerve pathologies when clinically indicated and can guide subsequent management/treatment.
高分辨率超声是一种用于上肢神经成像和形态/结构异常描述的有用工具，具有成本效益高、易于获取和能够进行动态评估的优势。本文的重点将是对常见上肢神经病变的超声评估：桡神经、正中神经和尺神经。
使用 PubMed、Google Scholar 和 OVID 数据库以及教科书资源，对上肢神经超声的最新文献进行了回顾。
超声检查可在上肢神经评估中提供有价值的信息。它可以显示出卡压性神经病、神经肿瘤和外伤性神经损伤等病变。本文将讨论这些疾病的超声特征。
在临床需要时，超声是一种有用的成像方式，可用于探查上肢神经病变，并可指导后续的管理/治疗。
