    New Case Report Advances Imaging for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

    Published in JBJS Case Connector, a new case report co-authored by Ajul Shah, MD, alongside Darryl B. Sneag, MD, Ek T.

The case suggests MR neurography may improve detection of these thin fibromuscular bands, giving physicians another diagnostic tool for a condition that's often difficult to identify.
