MRI of the Hand and Wrist covers the tremendous technological advances and new applications that have occurred in this area over the past five years. The emphasis is on MR anatomy, techniques for performing MR studies, and utility for specific clinical problems.
Features include:
- comparisons of MRI with CT, ultrasound, and other modalities where appropriate
- discussion of common technical and anatomic pitfalls to help avoid errors in interpreting MR images
- specific applications organized by etiologies
