Introduction
We sought to compare median nerve elasticity between leprosy patients (LPs) and healthy volunteers (HVs) using ultrasound elastography (UE).
Methods
Two radiologists independently measured the strain ratio of the median nerve/flexor digitorum superficialis muscle (MN/FDSM) of 18 LP and 18 HV using real‐time freehand UE. Statistical analysis included intra‐class correlation coefficients...
Background
Shear wave elastography (SWE) shows promise in peripheral neuropathy evaluation but has potential limitations due to tissue size and heterogeneity. We tested SWE sensitivity to elasticity change and the effect of probe position in a median nerve cadaver model.
Methods
Ten specimens were used to measure median nerve elasticity under increasing loads using SWE and indentation. Measurements...
