[High-resolution MRI of the carpal tunnel. Anatomical correlations].
This anatomical study of the carpal tunnel compares magnetic resonance imaging sections and adult and fetal anatomical sections. The MRI studies were carried out in 12 normal controls. The use of an experimental high resolution module allows achieving as high a degree of spatial resolution as 0.13 mm2. The comparison of MR images with anatomical sections allows a very accurate analysis of the contents of the carpal tunnel, especially of the median nerve, of the flexor tendons and of the flexor retinaculum.
