Background: MRI describes the main features of the encountered
different pathological lesions of the hand and fingers, as well as
specifies the signal characteristics and location, which help to
differentiate them. In general, a specific diagnosis may be
achieved by taking into account the location of the lesion within
the hand or wrist and its signal characteristics. Aim: The aim of
the study is to evaluate the role of MRI in diagnosis of various
hand and finger pathologies using different sequences. Methods:
This is a prospective observational study of patients who suffers
from hand or fingers swelling or trauma. The patients were
investigated by MRI. Results: The study included 30 patients with
hand or finger lesions who were evaluated by MRI and enrolled
from Benha University hospitals. Conclusion: Magnetic resonance
imaging is the preferable method of choice for evaluating various
hand and finger lesions in traumatic and non-traumatic condition
if conventional radiography isn’t enough. |
