FIG 3. Plots of signal intensity against orientation for the median nerve and hypothenar muscle and for an adjacent flexor tendon. Same subject as in Fig 1.
A, The median nerve shows a 98% increase in signal intensity, which peaks at about 60° and decreases as the angulation is increased to 90°. Muscle shows no significant change in signal intensity.
B, The adjacent flexor tendon, examined with the same sequence and plotted on the same scale, follows the same pattern but has a lower initial signal intensity and shows less change.
