Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The main study parameters for objective 1, are:<br /><br>1. (Semi-)quantitative rating of MRI-imaging of brachial plexus.<br /><br>2. Cross-sectional area (CSA) on HRUS imaging (CSA measurements of median<br /><br>nerves and brachial plexus).<br /><br>These parameters will be used to select those with highest diagnostic yield as<br /><br>endpoint.<br /><br><br /><br>The main parameters for objective 2, are:<br /><br>1. MRI-DTI values (radial, axial and mean diffusivity (RD, AD and MD),<br /><br>fractional anisotropy (FA)).<br /><br>The will be used to determine the distribution of parameters and nerve size<br /><br>that may be useful in the future for patients with CIDP and MMN. </p><br>
