Brachial Plexus Nerve Trunk Segmentation Using Deep Learning: A Comparative Study with Doctors' Manual Segmentation [PDF]
[J]. Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology, 2024, 50(3): 374-383, 2022 Ultrasound-guided nerve block anesthesia (UGNB) is a high-tech visual nerve block anesthesia method that can observe the target nerve and its surrounding structures, the puncture needle's advancement, and local anesthetics spread in real-time. The key in UGNB is nerve identification.

Hybrid Deep Neural Network for Brachial Plexus Nerve Segmentation in Ultrasound Images [PDF]
, 2021 Ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia (UGRA) can replace general anesthesia (GA), improving pain control and recovery time. This method can be applied on the brachial plexus (BP) after clavicular surgeries. However, identification of the BP from ultrasound (US) images is difficult, even for trained professionals.

Supraclavicular Approach to the Brachial Plexus
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2023 Background:. The brachial plexus consists of an intricate array of nerves originating from the C5–T1 ventral rami of the spinal cord. Their course is complex and can be substantially distorted after injury.

Brachial plexus injury mimicking a spinal-cord injury. [PDF]
, 2010 Objective High-energy impact to the head, neck, and shoulder can result in cervical spine as well as brachial plexus injuries. Because cervical spine injuries are more common, this tends to be the initial focus for management.
