Recently, deep learning (DL) algorithms have been adapted for the diagnosis of medical images. The purpose of this study was to detect image features using DL without measuring median nerve cross-sectional area (CSA) in ultrasonography (US) images of...
Median nerve swelling is one of the features of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), and ultrasound measurement of maximum median nerve cross-sectional area is commonly used to diagnose CTS. We hypothesized that volume might be a more sensitive measure than...

Ultrasound (US) imaging is recognized as a useful support for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) assessment through the evaluation of median nerve morphology. However, US is still far to be systematically adopted to evaluate this common entrapment neuropat...
BACKGROUND: A potential alternative treatment to surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome is to inject enzymes into the transverse carpal ligament to decrease its stiffness and alleviate pressure off the median nerve. An accurate injection is needed for de...
OBJECTIVE: High-resolution ultrasound is an emerging tool for diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome caused by the compression of the median nerve at the wrist. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to explore and summarize the performance of dee...
OBJECTIVE: The morphological dynamics of the median nerve across the level extracted from dynamic ultrasonography are valuable for the diagnosis and evaluation of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), but the data extraction requires tremendous labor to manu...
BACKGROUND: It is difficult to create intuitive methods of controlling prosthetic limbs, often resulting in abandonment. Peripheral nerve interfaces can be used to convert motor intent into commands to a prosthesis. The Extraneural Spatiotemporal Com...
OBJECTIVE: Ultrasound (US) examination has unique advantages in diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), although identification of the median nerve (MN) and diagnosis of CTS depend heavily on the expertise of examiners. In the aim of alleviating thi...
CASE: A 47-year-old orthopaedic surgeon presented with acute volar left wrist pain. He performed over 250 robot-assisted knee arthroplasties each year. Color Doppler evaluation revealed bilateral persistent median arteries and bifid median nerves, wi...

OBJECTIVES: Advances in diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) using ultrasonography (US) and artificial intelligence (AI) aim to replace nerve conduction studies. However, a method for accurate severity diagnosis remains unachieved. We explored the...
