Abstract:
OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this article is to review the general guidelines for MRI of the finger and emphasize normal finger anatomy as it relates to abnormalities and injuries. CONCLUSION. Advanced imaging, particularly MRI, is increasingly relied on to make the diagnosis and guide management of finger injuries. It is incumbent on radiologists to understand the complex anatomy of the fingers as well as to be familiar with common injuries and aspects of injuries that affect management in order to meaningfully contribute to patient care.

Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment muscles originate from the humerus. They primarily function as flexors and are also known as flexor muscles. They typically insert on the carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. The superficial layer includes the flexor carpi...

Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...
Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
