The purpose of this exhibit is to describe and illustrate the complex anatomy of the upper limb nerves, most affected by nerve entrapment, using cadaveric dissections, schematic drawings and multimodality imaging (ultrasound, CT and MRI).
This exhibit will be a core learning tool for the residents and radiology physicians.
Overview
Relevant anatomy and pathophysiology of the most affected upper limb nerves:
- median nerve,
- radial nerve,
- ulnar nerve,
- axillary nerve
- suprascapular nerve
