Wrist MRI

Wrist magnetic resonance imaging (wrist MRI) enables a very detailed view of the bones, ligaments, tendons, joint surfaces, cartilage and soft tissues of the wrist. The examination is non-invasive, without ionizing radiation and represents the gold standard in the assessment of complex painful conditions and wrist injuries.

When is a wrist MRI recommended?

Wrist MRI is recommended for:

• long-lasting or severe wrist pain
• swelling, weakness, and limited mobility
• suspected ligament injuries (TFCC, scapholunate, lunotriquetral ligament)
• tendon damage and tenosynovitis
• fractures and occult fractures not visible on X-ray
• degenerative changes and osteoarthritis
• inflammatory, infectious, or tumor-related changes
• postoperative conditions and follow-up after procedures

What does a wrist MRI look like?

The examination is painless and takes on average 20–30 minutes. The patient lies still while high-resolution layered MRI images are taken. Contrast agent is used only when medically indicated.
