Synopsis

Human sciatic nerve morphometrics were measured for nerve volume, fascicle volume, and fascicle density using a 3D gradient echo sequence with an in-plane resolution of 0.15 x 0.15 mm2. Metrics from healthy controls showed a moderate correlation of nerve and fascicle volumes with body mass index but not with age. There was a strong correlation between nerve volume and the clinical score of disease severity in patients with hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies.
