title: Imaging of the distal radioulnar joint.
abstract: The distal radioulnar joint can be evaluated by many different imaging techniques, including plain radiography, arthrography, tomography, nuclear medicine bone scanning, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Each of these techniques has advantages and disadvantages that must be considered when determining the appropriate diagnostic evaluation for a particular patient.
