Abstract

The lumbosacral (LS) plexus is a complicated network of nerves, and the complex anatomy is resolvable using high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance neurography. This article focuses on 3D imaging evaluation of the anatomy and the pathology of various LS plexus branch nerves.
