Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed in 38 patient with wrist pain who were suspected of having various soft-tissue or osseous abnormalities. Results of conventional radiographs had been normal or inconclusive. MRI provides unique anatomic information allowing the diagnosis of a variety of painful conditions in the wrist. MRI clearly delineates abnormalities in many of the structures of the wrist: Tendons, ligaments TFC synovial membrane, cartilage, cortical bone and bone marrow oedema. Alteration in size, shape, continuity and signal intensity of these structures could be well visualized with MRI soft tissue disorders depicted by MRI include tendon and ligament tears, tenosynovitis, synovitis and soft tissue masses. Osseous conditions demonstrated by MRI included osteonecrosis, kienbock’s disease bone infections. MRI could detect the cause of carpal tunnel syndrome, if that is mass or tenosynovitis. This work aims to study the value and advantages of MRI in diagnosis of different pathological conditions of wrist region. We believe that MRI has had a dramatic impact on the diagnosis and assessment of variety of wrist disorders. It is non invasive and excellent soft tissue contrast and spatial resolution make it an ideal modality to demonstrate the complex anatomy and pathologic conditions of the wrist
