Ultrasonographic Identification of Pacinian Corpuscles in the Hand: A Pilot Study of Technique and Reliability
Pacinian corpuscles can be reliably counted in the hand using high-resolution ultrasound. The reliability data from this pilot study may facilitate further ultrasound studies of Pacinian corpuscles, which may be decreased in number or undergo other changes in polyneuropathies.
