Radiology of the hand
MRI - Planes, parameters
Because of the large number of differently aligned structures in several anatomic regions, many dedicated MRI protocols must be used on the hand.
MRI - Sequence protocols
MRI sequence protocols have to be anatomically and technically adapted to the clinical question and reproducible in the follow-up.
MRI - Arthrography
MR arthrography is highly sensitive for detecting intra-articular disorders (scapholunate and lunotriquetral dissociation, TFCC lesion, chondropathy).
CUP classification for TFCC lesions
The ulnar carpal complex is located at the ulnar site of the transition from the forearm to the wrist. It acts as a buffer here, stabilizing the ulna and radius.
