Fig. 5From: Diagnostic value of median nerve shear wave ultrasound elastography in diagnosis and differentiation of carpal tunnel syndrome severityA 40-year-old female patient with moderate grade of carpal tunnel syndrome by electrophysiological diagnostic studies. (Left) High-resolution conventional B-mode ultrasound showed thickened median nerve with increased CSA (12.5 mm2) and wrist/forearm ratio (2.4). (Right) Shear-wave elastography of the median nerve displayed increased mean median nerve stiffness value = 89.4 kPaBack to article page
