Synopsis

To find out whether this change in position affects the actual fiber tracking, we compared the number of fiber implementations in the median nerve in accordance to neutral and superman position. In 12 of the 14 cases, the superman position produced more fibers than in the neutral position. The reason for this thought is due to the fact that the wrist in the superman position is closer to the isocenter of the magnetic field. Other parameters may be important to optimize the images of wrist DTI, however positioning of the wrist should be considered first.
