title: Magnetic resonance imaging of the upper extremity: advances in technique and application.
abstract: Vast advances in technology have taken place in the field of radiology led by the introduction of magnetic resonance imaging. The added advantages of exquisite soft tissue contrast and multiplanar imaging capabilities have revolutionized the understanding of complex anatomic relationships and diagnoses. The current authors will focus on the introduction of new advances in magnetic resonance imaging of the upper extremity that may prove helpful in the diagnosis and treatment of upper extremity abnormalities.
