Study evaluates ultrasound in carpal tunnel diagnosis
A study in Academic Radiology found that cross-sectional area was the ultrasound feature with the highest accuracy, specificity and sensitivity in diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome, and combining CSA with median nerve stiffness at either of the measured sites and color Doppler imaging further increased diagnostic accuracy for carpal tunnel syndrome. "Although the ultrasound features did not differentiate all the stages of [carpal tunnel] severity, this study suggests the further validation of ultrasound features and standardization of assessment criteria for the use of ultrasonography as a supplement screening tool for [carpal tunnel syndrome]," researchers wrote.
