Hand MRI
Hand MRI is a modern and highly informative diagnostic method that provides detailed assessment of bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerve fibers and vessels. Layered scanning detects even minimal changes — from inflammation to malignant lesions.
Benefits of Hand MRI
Safety
0 mSv — no ionizing radiation; non-invasive exam.
High detail
Clear visualization of soft tissues, ligaments, tendons and microinjuries.
Neurovascular assessment
Evaluation of nerves and vessels to detect compression and ischemia.
Fast
Typically 15–20 minutes; comfortable fixation when needed.
Indications
- Chronic hand or wrist pain.
- Limited joint mobility; tendon contractures.
- Swelling, redness, discomfort of unknown origin.
- Avascular necrosis.
- Suspected benign or malignant tumors.
- Vascular disorders and nerve entrapment.
- Preoperative diagnostics.
- Low informativeness of ultrasound or X-ray.
Inflammatory and degenerative
- Arthritis, arthrosis, tenosynovitis, bursitis.
- Degenerative changes of joints and tendons.
Ligaments and tendons
- Tears, partial injuries, tendinopathies.
- Post-traumatic changes and scarring.
Bone injuries
- Microfractures and occult fractures.
- Osteonecrosis, bone marrow changes.
Masses
- Ganglion cysts (hydromas), lipomas, cysts.
- Tumors and their spread.
Neurovascular disorders
- Nerve compression (tunnel syndromes).
- Perfusion issues, thrombosis of small vessels.
Preparation
No special preparation required. Remove metal items.
Positioning
The hand is fixed to prevent motion; a comfortable position is ensured.
Scanning
Duration — 15–20 minutes; continuous communication with the technologist.
Equipment
- High-field MRI with dedicated hand/wrist coil.
- Key sequences: T1/T2, PD/T2*, STIR for soft tissues.
- Contrast (DCE-MRI) when indicated to assess masses and inflammation.
