“…The sciatic nerve has regularly been under investigation by means of MRN. However, until recently, primarily qualitative MRN has been carried out, with the signal of the sciatic nerve or its morphology being altered in the context of different pathologic conditions such as traumatic or iatrogenic injury and tumors such as perineuriomas [ 5 – 8 ], Fabry disease [ 9 – 11 ], CMTD [ 12 ], or diabetic and other neuropathies [ 13 , 14 ]. Importantly, (semi-)quantitative MRN might be more objective and potentially more robust and reproducible when compared to mere qualitative MRN, with DTI, for instance, being capable of contributing with quantitatively assessable changes by means of diffusion parameters that have already been evaluated among patients with muscular disorders such as myotonic dystrophy [ 15 ], radiculopathy [ 16 ], CIDP [ 17 ], CMTD [ 18 ], or different kinds of neuropathies [ 19 – 21 ].…”
