MR Neurography of the Brachial Plexus - Techniques and Clinical Applications

Explore MR Neurography of the brachial plexus in this informative webinar presented by Dr. Darryl Sneag. Discover the indications for MR Neurography (MRN) in brachial plexus imaging and learn about optimal MRI techniques, including the application of Deep learning reconstructions like AIR Recon DL. Gain insights into the motivations behind MR Neurography and its ability to precisely localize pathology. Delve into the anatomical regions and technical considerations specific to brachial plexus imaging, including hardware requirements, coil setups, and protocol optimization for 3T systems. Understand the importance of fat suppression techniques, parameter selection, and the use of IV Gadolinium for vascular suppression. Explore advanced imaging methods such as Multi-Spectral Imaging (MSI) at 3T. Examine clinical applications, including Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS), axillary nerve deviation, and Parsonage-Turner Syndrome. Enhance your knowledge of brachial plexus MR Neurography and its potential to improve diagnostic accuracy in peripheral nerve imaging.
