title: Direct magnetic resonance arthrography.
abstract: Magnetic resonance (MR) arthrography has gained increasing popularity as a diagnostic tool in the assessment of intra-articular derangements. Its role has been studied extensively in the shoulder, but it also has been explored in the hip, elbow, knee, wrist and ankle. This article reviews the current role of direct MR arthrography in several major joints, with consideration of pertinent anatomy, techniques and applications.
