We used the Terminologia Anatomica to label all the anatomical structures. The user can choose T1 or DP-FatSat weightings on this MRI scan of the wrist. On "Anatomical parts" the user can choose to hide or show all the anatomical labels of the wrist region or to display only the most important anatomical structures in order to avoid the overloading of the images. Nerves: shows the innervation of the wrist by its main nerves and their branches (ulnar, median and radial nerves).Veins: represented by the superficial venous system of the hand (dorsal hand veins, basilic vein, cephalic vein) and the deep venous system of the wrist (branches of the ulnar and radial veins).Arteries: the radial and ulnar arteries are detailed on this MRI of the wrist, as well as their branches and the various dorsal and palmar arches.

The wrist anatomy on 3T MR and 3D pictures : Tendons, Carpal tendinous sheaths Carpal tendon sheaths: describes the various synovial sheaths surrounding the tendons of the wrist tendon: sheath of the extensor muscles of the fingers, sheath of the flexor carpi radialis, tendon sheath of the long thumb flexor.The carpal tunnel and ulnar canal (Guyon's) are visible by selecting the different filters on "Anatomical parts". Fascia / aponeuroses: notably displays the transverse carpal ligament (flexor retinaculum) and the palmar fascia.Tendons: the many tendons of the wrist are all labeled on this picture, from the tendon of the flexor carpi radials to the flexor digitorum profundus tendon.Muscles: mainly the muscles of the forearm and the palmar region (muscles of the little finger, thumb muscles).Ligaments: all the ligaments of the wrist visible on an MRI are shown on this anatomy module, including collateral ligaments, the radiocarpal and ulnocarpal ligaments as well as the intercarpal ligaments.A thinner section sequence (up to 1mm) is normally added (2D or 3D GRE T2 or more recent volumetric3D turbo spin echo proton density fat saturation. It employs a small field of view (8 to 10 cm), and section thickness varies from 2mm to 3mm. Anatomy of the wrist on 3T MR (axial, sagittal and coronal slices) and 3D views of the carpal bones : Wrist joint, Midcarpal joint, Carpometacarpal joints While varying among institutions, a typical wrist MRI protocol is shown in Table 1.
