[Abstract] Although MRI provides superb peripheral nerve imaging with excellent soft tissue resolution, it still faces challenges due to complexity of the anatomy and biological characteristics. Syngo MR provides several innovative techniques for peripheral nerve imaging, including SPACE-IR-blood suppression, MEDIC, VIBE, PSIF + WE (water-excitation)+ diffusion, etc.
