Wrist in Motion Illuminated by a New MRI Technique

When it comes to diagnosing wrist problems, a movie is worth more than a picture, which is worth a thousand words. UC Davis radiologists, medical physicists and orthopaedic surgeons have found a way to create "movies" of the wrist in motion using a series of brief magnetic resonance imaging scans. Called "Active MRI," the technique could be useful in diagnosing subtle changes in physiology that indicate the onset of conditions such as wrist instability. The ...
