Abstract
MR neurography (MRN) has become a cornerstone in diagnosing and managing plexus and peripheral nerve disorders. This review explores recent advancements in MRN, emphasizing 3T imaging, coil selection, fat and vascular suppression strategies, and deep learning-based reconstruction for enhanced image resolution. This review focuses particularly on the technical considerations of imaging different anatomic regions including the brachial plexus, lumbosacral plexus, and peripheral nerve of the extremities. Looking ahead, the implementation of 7T MR imaging, the integration of quantitative diffusion imaging, and further standardized protocols promises to refine MRN's role in clinical practice.
