To evaluate the effectiveness of high-resolution ultrasonography in detecting peripheral neuropathy associated with leprosy.
Conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of existing literature.
Analyzed data on the sensitivity of high-resolution ultrasonography.
Compared imaging results with clinical findings of peripheral neuropathy.
High-resolution ultrasonography showed high sensitivity in identifying peripheral nerve damage.
Demonstrated effectiveness in assessing nerve involvement noninvasively.
Supported the potential for HRUS as a routine diagnostic tool in leprosy cases.

Systematic review demonstrates effective noninvasive imaging for evaluating nerve involvement in leprosy.

Our review shows the usefulness of HRUS as a sensitive, noninvasive imaging modality for evaluating peripheral nerve involvement in leprosy.
