Relations of a small C5 mass to brachial plexus elements. In many cases, by collecting images in planes that are perpendicular to the main longitudinal axis of the nerve elements of interest, it is possible to obtain extremely specific information about the location of a mass within the brachial plexus. A, multiplanar reformat oriented parallel to the main longitudinal orientation of the brachial plexus. B, oblique acquisition perpendicular to the orientation of the main longitudinal direction of the brachial plexus.
