AB  - In  recent  years,  magnetic  resonance  imaging  (MRI)  has  become  a  very  important  modality  for  diagnosing  wrist  and  hand  diseases  including  osteoarthritis,  rheumatoid  arthritis  (RA),  occult  fracture,  avascular  necrosis  (AVN),  ligamentous/tendinous  injuries,  impaction  syndrome,  and  nerve  entrapment  syndrome.1,2  MRI  is  a  noninvasive  and  nonirradiative  imaging  tool,  and  can  provide  high  soft  tissue  contrast  resolution.  Thin  and  contiguous  slices  are  needed  for  adequate  MR  imaging  of  the  wrist  because  even  the  larger  ligaments  of  the  wrist  are  no  greater  than  1–2  mm  thick.3  New  MRI  techniques  such  as  3D  volume  acquisitions  on  higher  magnetic  fields  improve  signal  to  noise  ratios  and  visualization  of  wrist  structures  in  detail  with  a  shorter  scan  time.4
