Abstract
The wrist is perhaps the most complicated joint in the body and the most important joint for today’s human being in this computer and internet
age.
It is not surprising that where there is strain there is conflict. Pain is
often the presenting symptom. It is not surprising, then, that the painful wrist
presents the physician with a diagnostic challenge.
Wrist pain is a common clinical complaint. The most common causes
of wrist pain are traumatic and non-traumatic abnormalities involving
ganglia, avascular necrosis, and triangular fibrocartilage lesions. MRI serves
as a problem solving technique to assess the cause of wrist pain. It also plays
an important prognostic role.
MRI of the wrist is often challenging because the components of the
wrist have complex anatomy of bone and soft tissues, with ligaments and
cartilage which are small sized structures measuring millimeters.
MRI is a one of advanced imaging techniques that play an important
role in evaluating the wrist and is a useful examination modality because of
its multiplanar, multisequence capability and its excellent resolution of soft
tissue structures.
MRI is particularly advantageous for assessing occult bone lesions
and soft tissue structures around the wrist such as cartilages, tendons,
ligaments and nerves.
