In this video, we explore the best imaging methods for diagnosing Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS)—Ultrasound vs. MRI. Both imaging techniques are commonly used in the diagnostic process for TOS, but each has its unique strengths and limitations when it comes to identifying the cause of nerve or vascular compression in the thoracic outlet.

Ultrasound is often favored because it’s a non-invasive, quick, and cost-effective way to assess the movement of blood vessels and soft tissues in the thoracic outlet. It can also capture real-time images, which is beneficial for evaluating how compression occurs during specific movements, such as raising the arms or rotating the shoulders. However, ultrasound has its limits in terms of providing a comprehensive view of deeper structures, like nerves and bone, which are often involved in TOS.

On the other hand, MRI provides detailed images of soft tissues, nerves, and bones, allowing for a more thorough evaluation of the thoracic outlet. It’s especially helpful for visualizing nerve compression and detecting other anatomical abnormalities that could contribute to TOS. However, MRI is more expensive and typically requires a longer time for imaging, which may not always be practical in urgent cases.

In this video, we’ll dive deeper into the advantages and limitations of both imaging techniques and help you understand when Ultrasound might be the better choice versus when MRI should be prioritized for a more accurate diagnosis. Whether you’re considering a diagnosis for yourself or preparing for a medical evaluation, this video will provide you with the essential information to understand which imaging method is best for identifying and treating TOS.
