MR Neurography of the popliteal region. Images were acquired at 3 T (Siemens Magnetom SkyraFit, Siemens Healthineers, Erlangen, Germany) using a high resolution, T2-weighted, fat-saturated turbo spin-echo sequence (TR 6000 ms, TE 30 ms, FA 180°, 3 mm slice thickness, FoV 130 mm, matrix size 512). > peroneal nerve, * tibial nerve, # popliteal artery. The smaller images on the upper right part depict the morphology of the nerves and vessels in an age-matched healthy volunteer. A Patient 1. Note some hyperintense nerve fascicle bundles in the tibial nerve, and the missing "flow void" of the popliteal artery. B Patient 2. Note multiple hyperintense and slightly enlarged nerve fascicle bundles of both tibial and peroneal nerve, and the missing "flow void" of the popliteal artery"
