MRI Brachial Plexus is a specialized imaging test used to obtain detailed images of the network of nerves that control movement and sensation in the shoulder, arm, and hand. It is commonly recommended to diagnose nerve injuries, compression, inflammation, tumors, radiation-induced nerve damage, and congenital abnormalities of the brachial plexus. MRI provides excellent soft tissue contrast, allowing clear visualization of nerve roots, trunks, cords, and surrounding structures without radiation exposure. Contrast dye may be used in selected cases to better assess tumors or inflammatory conditions. This scan plays a crucial role in diagnosis, treatment planning, and surgical evaluation of brachial plexus disorders.
