That’s why most patients (at least in the practices where I have worked in Australia and the US) get an EMG first, to localise the lesion.

An EMG/NCS isn't necessarily going to bear fruit. Studies and anecdotal evidence both support the idea that nerve conduction tests do not rule out nerve impingement in a particular area. TOS in particular can be tricky to "truly" diagnose through diagnostic imaging.
