BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Prolonged T2 relaxation time of denervated muscle has
been described in several clinical and experimental studies. The purpose of this study was …

Various pathologic conditions extending from the lumbar and pelvic regions to the lower leg
may manifest as foot drop, or weakness of ankle dorsiflexion. Potential causes of foot drop …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: MR changes in denervated muscles have been reported
to occur within days up to several weeks after peripheral nerve damage. The purpose of this …

Peripheral nerve disorders may be classified into compressive or entrapment neuropathies
and non‐compressive neuropathies. Muscle denervation recognized on MRI may be a …

Foot drop usually results from lesions affecting the peripheral neural pathway related to
dorsiflexor muscles, especially the peroneal nerve. Although a central nervous system …

Thirty patients presenting with foot drop due to lesions of the peroneal nerve or L5 spinal
root were investigated with gadolinium (Gd)-enhanced MRI of the lower leg. Significant …

Abstract THE EVALUATION OF peripheral nerve disorders has traditionally relied on a
clinical history, physical examination, and electrodiagnostic studies. Recent studies have …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and anatomic distribution of occult
and palpable ganglia of the foot and ankle as seen by MRI. Within a 7‐year period MRI of …

The purpose of the study is to further assess the usefulness of short TI (time to inversion)
recovery (STIR) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in detecting denervation of skeletal …

Because determination of neurologic integrity after severe limb trauma is crucial in patient
care, the authors assessed magnetic resonance (MR) imaging as a tool to map denervated …
