Dynamic imaging of the wrist.
Dynamic imaging of the wrist can be performed through the use of fluoroscopy, arthrography, and arthrotomography. These methods of imaging have proved valuable in the diagnosis of many pathologic conditions of the wrist. Fluoroscopy has proved valuable as it captures the kinematics of the wrist. Arthrography utilizes contrast media to demonstrate anatomic structures not normally visualized on plain radiographs. Last, the technique of arthrotomography improves evaluation by helping to eliminate the problem of superimposition of structures within the wrist. Dynamic imaging of the wrist has proved to be a valuable tool in the diagnosis of chronic conditions of the wrist.
