Abstract
Superb microvascular imaging (SMI) is an advanced ultrasound technique that portrays microcirculation. Its clinical applications have been studied in various diseases, including carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) i.e. the most common entrapment neuropathy. This scoping review explores the role of SMI in diagnosing CTS or the assessment of relevant neural structures.
