The brachial plexus is a network of nerves responsible for the motor and sensory innervation of the upper extremity and upper chest. Pathologies affecting this structure can lead to significant morbidity, ranging from pain and sensory deficits to profound motor impairment. MR imaging is the modality of choice for imaging the brachial plexus. This review provides an overview of brachial plexus imaging, emphasizing practical aspects, anatomic landmarks, and imaging protocols, as well as a wide range of pathologies ranging from traumatic injury to inflammatory, idiopathic, hypertrophic, and neoplastic conditions.
臂丛神经是一个神经网络，负责上肢和上胸部的运动和感觉神经支配。影响该结构的病变可导致显著的发病率，范围从疼痛和感觉缺陷到严重的运动障碍。磁共振成像（MR）是臂丛神经成像的首选方式。本综述概述了臂丛神经成像，强调实际应用、解剖标志、成像方案，以及从创伤性损伤到炎症、特发性、肥厚性和肿瘤性疾病等广泛的病理情况。
