Fig. 3From: Diagnostic value of median nerve shear wave ultrasound elastography in diagnosis and differentiation of carpal tunnel syndrome severityA 58-year-old male patient with severe grade of carpal tunnel syndrome by electrophysiological diagnostic studies. (Left) High-resolution conventional B-mode ultrasound showed thickened median nerve with increased CSA (13.6 mm2) and calculated wrist/forearm ratio (2.9). (Right) Shear-wave elastography of the median nerve displayed increased mean median nerve stiffness value = 102.7 kPaBack to article page
