Quantitative parameters of diffusion tensor imaging in the evaluation of carpal tunnel syndrome.

Background: To explore the value of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)-derived metrics in quantitative evaluation of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).

Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study included 39 wrists from 24 symptomatic CTS patients, who underwent clinical, electrophysiological, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evaluations. In addition, 10 wrists of 6 healthy participants were included as controls.

Magnetic resonance imaging as a first-choice imaging modality in carpal tunnel syndrome: new evidence.

Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common type of peripheral nerve compression. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is becoming more popular in practice in the evaluation of CTS.

Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic value of MRI in CTS.

The value of sonographic quantitative parameters in the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome in the Vietnamese population.

Objective: To examine the value of ultrasound (US) in the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in the Vietnamese population.

Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study involved 42 wrists of 25 patients with idiopathic CTS evaluated by US. In addition, 38 wrists of 22 healthy volunteers were included as the control group.
