TI  - Correlation between Electrodiagnostic Study and Imaging Features in Patients with 
      Suspected Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

AB  - Electrodiagnostic studies (EDXs) are the confirmative diagnostic tool for carpal 
      tunnel syndrome (CTS). Previous studies have evaluated the relationship between 
      EDXs and ultrasonography (US) but not with X-rays. Recently, many studies on the 
      diagnostic value of X-rays in various diseases have been reported, but data on 
      CTS are lacking. We evaluated the relationship between electrodiagnostic 
      parameters and roentgenographic and ultrasonographic features in CTS and 
      investigated the usefulness of X-rays and US for CTS. This retrospective study 
      included 97 wrists of 62 patients. All patients with suspected CTS underwent 
      EDXs, wrist US, and wrist X-rays. The CTS patients were classified into mild, 
      moderate, and severe groups. The roentgenographic features included the ulnar 
      variance (UV) and the anteroposterior diameter of the wrist (APDW), and the 
      ultrasonographic features included the flattening ratio (FR) and the thickest 
      anteroposterior diameter of the median nerve (TAPDM). Most EDX parameters showed 
      significant correlations with roentgenographic and US features. The 
      electrodiagnostic severity was also correlated with all imaging features. 
      Therefore, both wrist X-rays and wrist US can be useful for the diagnosis of CTS 
      as supplements to EDXs.
