Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Age 18- 80 years. 2. Patients: confirmed diagnosis of CIDP or MMN, as defined by relevant diagnostic consensus criteria. 3. Disease controls: established diagnosis of relevant clinical mimic to diagnosis CIDP and MMN (CMT, lower motor neuron syndromes and axonal neuropathies). 4. Healthy volunteers: no previous diagnosis, sign/symptoms consistent with neuropathy
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. age 80 years, 2. physically unable to undergo MRI or HRUS of the peripheral nervous system
Design outcomes

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main study parameters for objective 1, are: 1. (Semi-)quantitative rating of MRI-imaging of brachial plexus. 2. Cross-sectional area (CSA) on HRUS imaging (CSA measurements of median nerves and brachial plexus). These parameters will be used to select those with highest diagnostic yield as endpoint. The main parameters for objective 2, are: 1. MRI-DTI values (radial, axial and mean diffusivity (RD, AD and MD), fractional anisotropy (FA)). The will be used to determine the distribution of parameters and nerve size that may be useful in the future for patients with CIDP and MMN. | — |
