is mrn better to view at peripheral nerves than a mri?

could it be easier to see the dorsal nerve of the penis using a MRN, and see all of its branches?

Yes--

Magnetic resonance neurography IS supposed to be better for imaging nerves, specifically--the slightly altered frequencies help distinguish the nerves fro mother tissue.

It's still considered an experimental testing procedure by most insurances, though. It's been around about 20-25 years now, but I have yet to see it being adopted on a widespread basis.
