Abstract: Nerve damage is one of the main clinical manifestations of leprosy, which can result in disability and disfigurement in leprosy patients. Currently, the extent and scope of peripheral nerve damage depend on the traditional inspection techniques such as conduction examination, hot and cold water perception test and nerve palpation. The sensitivity of these methods is poor. Development\ of modern imaging technology provides an effective tool for the diagnosis of peripheral nerve damage in leprosy. In this paper, the research progress of X-ray, MRI, ultrasound and other advanced imaging techniques in the diagnosis and treatment of peripheral nerve injury in leprosy are reviewed.

Key words: peripheral nerve, leprosy, imageology
