Diagnostic accuracy of MRI in adults with suspect brachial plexus lesions: A multicentre retrospective study with surgical findings and clinical follow-up as reference standard.

The overall diagnostic accuracy of brachial plexus MRI calculated on a per-patient base is relatively high. The specificity of brachial plexus MRI in patients suspected of having a space-occupying mass is very high. The sensitivity is also high, but there are false-positive interpretations as well. Tagliafico A, Succio G, Serafini G, Martinoli C. Eur J Radiol. 2011 Nov 7. [Epub ahead of print] PMID: 22071340
