Analysis of MR Imaging of Wrists in Female Patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Healthy Controls

The objective of this study was to evaluate morphological changes of the median nerve in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and healthy controls, to correlate the MRI findings of wrists. This study compared not only morphological changes of the median nerve and also displayed descriptively s...
