Although cadaver based studies confirm sonographic accuracy in describing peripheral nerve anatomy, more studies are needed to standardize measurement protocols. Previous studies addressing neuropathy have utilized cross-sectional area (CSA) to assess pathology. Prior studies have shown good reliability and accuracy measurement of peripheral nerve CSA in short axis with recently trained examiners (Shoreman et al., Strakowski et al.). Pathology should always be assessed in two planes during ultrasound evaluations, but this is frequently neglected with peripheral nerves. Our study was performed to evaluate accuracy and reliability of peripheral nerve measurement in long axis. Median Nerve Objective Ulnar Nerve Evaluate inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of peripheral nerve diameter measurement in the long axis by novice examiners. Novice intra-rater reliability (Φ), inter-rater reliability (ρ^2), and precision (smallest detectable difference, SDD) for peripheral nerve diameter measurements INTRA-RATER RELIABILITY INTER-RATER RELIABILITY SDD (cm) Proximal Distal Proximal Distal Proximal Distal Median 0.635 Moderate 0.524 Moderate 0.694 Moderate 0.685 Moderate 0.128 0.100 Ulnar 0.633 Moderate 0.493 Poor 0.692 Moderate 0.848 Good 0.037 0.029 Radial 0.858 Good 0.342 Poor 0.864 Moderate 0.661 Good 0.043 0.042 Tibial 0.509 Moderate 0.326 Poor 0.675 Moderate 0.597 Moderate 0.047 0.058 OVERALL 0.825 Good 0.572 Moderate 0.857 Good 0.895 Good 0.041 0.032 Methods Design: Cross sectional study Setting: Academic Medical Center Participants: IRB Approval: Ohio Health IRB #OH1-12-00424 Interventions: Novice examiners completed two ultrasound training sessions Our expert examiner obtained longitudinal ultrasound images of the radial, median, ulnar, and tibial nerves at proximal and distal sites for each healthy model Novice examiners measured the diameter of each nerve at each site for each model three separate times (total of 72 measurements). The measurement order was randomized and all examiners were blinded to their numerical values. Main Outcome Measures: Inter-rater reliability (generalizability coefficient - ρ^2) intra-rater reliability (dependability coefficient - Φ) Smallest detectable difference (SDD) Ultrasound Observers Observer Experience 1 Novice 2 3 4 5 6 7 Expert Healthy Nerve Models Model Age Gender 1 29 F 2 M 3 30 Radial Nerve Conclusions Across all nerves and across all measurement sites intra-rater reliability was moderate (Φ=0.634) and inter-rater reliability was good (ρ^2 = 0.855), and precision (SDD) was 0.4 cm. These coefficients varied by nerve and site. Across proximal and distal sites, the ulnar, tibial, and radial nerves all demonstrated good intra-rater reliability (Φ= 0.876, 0.844, 0.755 respectively), inter-rater reliability (ρ^2=0.976, 0.958, 0.883 respectively), and moderate precision (SDD =0.3, 0.4, 0.3 cm respectively). However, median nerve diameter measurements were not as reliable (intra- and inter-rater reliability: Φ=0.633 and ρ^2=0.698, respectively) or as precise (SDD = 1.0 cm). Peripheral nerve diameter can be measured relatively reliably in the long axis with ultrasound by novice examiners with limited training. Further improvement in reliability could be reasonably expected with additional training. Therefore, long axis diameter measurements should be incorporated into ultrasound training programs for use in the routine assessment of peripheral nerve size with high frequency ultrasound.
