Diagnosis of Cubital Tunnel Syndrome Using Deep Learning on Ultrasonographic Images
Although electromyography is the routine diagnostic method for cubital tunnel syndrome (CuTS), imaging diagnosis by measuring cross-sectional area (CSA) with ultrasonography (US) has also been attempted in recent years. In this study, deep learning (DL),

Ultrasound Assessment of the Ulnar Nerve Around the Elbow and Diagnosis of Cubital Tunnel Syndrome, Clinical Outcomes. [PDF]
Background: There is increased interest in ultrasound (US) for the diagnosis of cubital tunnel syndrome (CuTS). We hypothesize that ulnar nerve cross-sectional area (CSA) correlates with disease severity and electrodiagnostic studies (EDX).
