Abstract

This case image illustrates the importance of new sonographic applications such as superb microvascular imaging and shear wave elastography; as showed, they improve the diagnostic recognition of peripheral nerve lesion thanks to a better definition of vascularity and measure of stiffness.

Keywords: Schwannoma; shear wave elastography; superb microvascular imaging.
