Invited Commentary on “MR Neurographic Evaluation of Facial and Neck Pain”

Magnetic resonance neurography: is it so complicated that it needs a touch of genius?

“…Imaging of peripheral nerves seems challenging owing to their small calibre, proximity to the vessels, frequent oblique course, and complex anatomy. Magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) is an advancement of MR technique devised specifically to highlight the peripheral nerve anatomy, architecture, and its pathology along its longitudinal axis with superior resolution akin to MR angiography for vessels [1]. Every year almost 5% of the population is affected by peripheral neuropathy with a relatively higher frequency in the elderly.…”
