Medial Plantar Nerve Shear Wave Elastography and Viscosity Imaging for Differentiating Mild from Moderate Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy

Gao · X. · Li · Y.

Abstract

Objective: To examine how medial plantar nerve shear wave speed (Cs) and viscosity coefficient (Vi) are associated with the severity of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), and to assess their ability to differentiate adjacent severity categories. Materials and Methods: Based on TCSS, the 113 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were assigned to the non-DPN (n = 33), mild DPN (n = 46), and moderate DPN (n = 34) groups. Medial plantar nerve Cs and Vi were measured using shear wave elastography
