The purpose of our study was to compare 3D SHINKEI based
MRN with the DWIBS neurography in the anatomical
visualization of the brachial plexus at 1.5T. MRN image
quality generated by 3D SHINKEI and DWIBS in five
healthy volunteers was studied and was scored by two
radiologists. While both the techniques were scored
similar in visualization of the root, SHINKEI based MRN
scored higher in depicting the trunk and cord area of
brachial plexus with respect to DWIBS neurogrphy. Our
ongoing work will include further optimization of
SHINKEI based MRN at 1.5 T to improve brachial plexus
visualization.
