title: Magnetic resonance imaging of the wrist.
abstract: Magnetic resonance imaging is one of the newest diagnostic techniques for evaluating the complex anatomy of the wrist. It is the only diagnostic modality that can directly depict abnormalities within the ligaments of the wrist and the TFC complex. Pathologic processes involving bone and soft tissue can also be demonstrated.
