Radiographic/MR Imaging Correlation of the Wrist

Thomas P Moser et al. Magn Reson Imaging Clin N Am. 2019 Nov.

Abstract

In this review article, the authors discuss the imaging features of the most common pathologic conditions of the wrist by putting the emphasis on radiographic and MR imaging correlations. A topographic approach based on the 3 functional columns of the wrist (radial, central, and ulnar) serves as a framework. The pathologic conditions are classified, based on the structures involved, as fractures, ligament injuries, arthropathies, bone abnormalities, and tendinopathies. The authors describe and evaluate classic radiographic signs and explain how they correlate with MR imaging. The advantages and limitations of each technique are thoroughly discussed as well as other imaging modalities.
