Abstract

Magnetic resonance neurography is one of the most important and recent imaging modalities which has an exceeding role in diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome due to its effective ability in tracking the median nerve by means of complicated and highly sophisticated mathematical methods for detecting water(proton) anisotropic diffusion (DTI) within the nerve fibers when it faces a adequate magnetic field (1.5 T). It can measure the different diffusion values such as fractional anisotropy (which decreases) and the ADC (which increases) in carpal tunnel syndrome. So the M.R.Neurography has a great role in following up carpal tunnel syndrome patients post operatively as it more accurate in assessing the respond of the nerve fibers after removal the cause of the compression
