Magnetic resonance imaging of the brachial plexus.
Magnetic resonance imaging is the modality of choice for the evaluation of the brachial plexus. Regardless of the cross-sectional imaging modality used, a knowledge of the anatomy in the lower neck and thorax is necessary in the interpretation of these studies. Before imaging an attempt should be made to determine the possible etiology and location of the lesion.
