- Use of a specially designed brachial plexus phased array system results in a signal to noise improvement measured at six times better than the signal to noise ration obtained with a standard body coil widely used for studies in this region. This coil permitted the collection of brachial plexus images covering the full extent of the plexus from neck to axilla with good signal quality in the context of a Neurography imaging protocol.
- Normal volunteer study involving twelve subjects used to identify the anatomy and identify the optimal imaging planes to use to identify various nerve and nerve plexus structures in the pelvis.
