Abstract

For investigating peripheral nerves, there are technically well established imaging methods (sonography, MRI). In clinical practice, in every single case, a decision has to be made as to the necessity for diagnostic nerve imaging. We propose a system for decision-making and illustrate it with selected cases. A prerequisite is an electrophysiological diagnosis, neuro-/myography, with evidence of peripheral nerve lesion. Additionally, if one of the following questions is answered positively, an indication for an imaging study is given:

  • Is the localization of nerve damage unclear after electrodiagnostic tests?

  • Is a typical nerve compression syndrome absent?

  • Is there traumatic or postoperative nerve damage?

  • Does symptom amelioration fail to occur within the expected timeframe?
