| Objective: To investigate the features of high-frequency color Doppler ultrasound(HFS)sonography and its clinical significance in normal adult phrenic nerve and its main branches.Methods: Ultrasonography was used to probe 400 healthy adult volunteers with 400 tibial nerves and their main branches.Observed the characteristics of the sonographic features,walking,adjoining structures,and blood flow signal display.The iliac nerves and soles at the axillary and medial malleolus were measured.The anteroposterior diameter,lateral diameter and cross-sectional area(CSA)of the branch of the tibial nerve and perform statistical analysis.Results:(1)High-frequency color Doppler Ultrasound showed that 100% of 200 healthy adult volunteers showed a full range of sacral nerves and their main branches and can analyze the characteristics of the sonogram.(2)There was no significant difference in CSA between left and right contrast tibial nerve at the selected site.(P>0.05).(3)The CSA of male tibial nerve at three selected sites were slightly larger than females,but the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05).(4)The tibial nerve CSA is positively correlated with height and weight(P<0.01).Conclusion: high-frequency color ultrasound has a good display effect on the tibial nerve and it’s main branches. |
