Abstract:
This article reviews many of the most commonly used modalities for imaging the hand and wrist. Particular attention is paid to proper radiographic positioning, with emphasis on the four-view wrist series. Standard wrist measurements are detailed, and wrist arthrography is also discussed. Techniques for cross-sectional imaging, computed tomography, and MR imaging are reviewed, and several examples are presented as to where MR imaging is diagnostically valuable.
