Diagnostic Imaging
The use of radiographic and advanced scanning technologies to visualize internal structures and assess tissue damage. These tools help differentiate between stretched nerves and complete avulsions.
Key Facts
- X-rays and ultrasound are commonly used to rule out fractures or soft tissue injuries.
- Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provide detailed views of nerve roots and spinal cord connections.
- Imaging helps differentiate between stretched nerves and complete avulsions.
- These tests are typically recommended after an initial neurological assessment indicates nerve involvement.
