Diagnostic cut-off values and grading of carpal tunnel syndrome by shear wave elastography at different tunnel locations correlated with gold standard nerve conduction study – a case-control study

Shear wave elastography is a reliable, non-invasive modality for carpal tunnel syndrome diagnosis, offering excellent specificity, particularly when combined with cross-sectional area. Additionally, shear wave elastography at the tunnel inlet may help identify severe carpal tunnel syndrome, supporting timely clinical decision-making and prioritization of intervention.
