[...]the use of the SFF-wave technique detects more abnormalities than the technique that utilizes the CF waves in early stages of diabetic neuropathy, even before clinical manifestations appear. [...]it was possible to map the exact area of lesion on the ulnar nerve in 9 subjects. The FGS in group III was the only parameter that showed a more consistent result in PC-FAAP than the subjective scoring (P = 0.008). [...]the authors recommended the use of a PC based FAAP, especially for more severe lesions. The inter-rater reliability was higher for monoexponential data analysis. [...]the authors concluded that DW imaging was a better diagnostic sequence than the conventional sequences in allowing an accurate differentiation of benign and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors in NF1.
