This study showed a new scheme for MR neurography of the
wrist by using phase-cycled diffusion-sensitized driven
equilibrium (pcDSDE) technique for achieving
high-resolution MR neurography in the wrist. pcDSDE
sequence clearly showed both anatomies and courses of
median nerve, ulnar nerve and their branches.
Furthermore, this sequence could offer gself-fusionh
images simultaneously by using two types of
reconstructed images (neurography images and anatomical
images). DSDE sequence has great potential to stably
depict peripheral nerves in the extremities.
