Body surface area–adjusted median nerve cross-sectional area and multimodal ultrasound improve diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome
High-frequency ultrasound combined with Superb Microvascular Imaging (SMI) and Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) enables accurate, noninvasive evaluation of CTS. A BSA-based CSA Z-score improves specificity in CSA-based diagnosis, and integrating SMI and SWE further enhances overall diagnostic performance.
