title: Correlation between ultrasound imaging, cross-sectional anatomy, and histology of the brachial plexus: a review.
abstract: The anatomy of the brachial plexus is complex. To facilitate the understanding of the ultrasound appearance of the brachial plexus, we present a review of important anatomic considerations. A detailed correlation of reconstructed, cross-sectional gross anatomy and histology with ultrasound sonoanatomy is provided.
