Diagnostic Value of Median Nerve Cross-sectional Area Measured by Ultrasonography for the Severity of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Median nerve cross-sectional area is a valuable tool for diagnosing mild and severe carpal tunnel syndrome. While cross-sectional area provides limited accuracy for moderate carpal tunnel syndrome, it remains a useful adjunct to other diagnostic methods, potentially reducing the need for more invasive procedures.
