    [Abstract] Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common clinical peripheral nerve entrapment disease. In recent years，musculoskeletal ultrasound has been widely used in the assessment of nerve entrapment diseases. Ultrasound canaccurately displaythelocationand extent of median nerve entrapment and has been wellapplied in theclinicalnon-invasive diagnosisofCTS.Ultrasoundelastographytechnologyhascertainpotentialinthediagnosis of CTS，disease assessment and postoperative follow-up observation.The assessment of median nerve activity and thecombinationof ultrasoundand artificial intelligence provide more comprehensiveand accurate information for the clear ultrasound diagnosis of CTS.This articlereviewsthe progresion of the median nerve in patients with CTS from three aspects： shear wave elastography，dynamic ultrasound，and ultrasound combined with artificial intelligence.
