MR imaging of bilateral brachial plexus has been challenging due to various reasons, such as fat suppression failures caused by B₀ inhomogeneity, arms wrapping in arms-down imaging for patient comfort, and long scan time, etc. In this work, these aforementioned challenges were addressed by combining and utilizing novel MR imaging techniques, and a fast and robust protocol for bilateral brachial plexus MR imaging is proposed.
