The indications for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of articular anatomy and pathologic lesions continue to expand as a result of improvements in surface coils and new advances in pulse sequences, specifically new reduced flip angle techniques. Progress in imaging of the lower extremity has evolved more rapidly than imaging of the elbow and wrist because there are fewer problems with patient positioning, and conventional surface coils can be used.1Evaluation of the elbow and wrist represents a significant portion of musculoskeletal MR examinations in spite of the technical difficulties. At the Mayo Clinic 85% of nonneurologic MRI examinations are for musculoskeletal indications, and 15% of these are for examinations of the elbow and wrist.1,2
