Default Question about imaging studies.

Hey guys, was wondering if there are any studies out there that can image small peripheral nerves in the extremeties? I had a groin injury and was wondering if there was any way besides an MRneurography to image small nerves? Becuase the MRN isnt covered by my insurance..

You can see some of the smaller peripheral nerves on conventional MRI. The issue will be finding a radiologist that will look for them and report on them, as they are not part of typical search pattern for most body parts.
