“…MR arthrography technique has improved significantly resulting in more routine use of this technique [3] . MRI is very helpful in surgical planning, because it is confirms the diagnosis in cases when other radiographs or imaging modalities are normal or equivocal, due to its high sensitivity and specificity as compared with other modalities [4] .…”

Introduction: Wrist pain is a common clinical complaint. The most common causes of wrist pain are traumatic and non traumatic abnormalities involving ganglia, avascular necrosis, and triangular fibrocartilage lesions. MRI serves as a problemsolving technique to assess the cause of wrist pain. It also plays an important prognostic role. Aim of the Work: The aim of this study is to highlight the value of MRI in assessment of patients suffering from wrist joint pain. Patients and Methods: A descriptive study, conducted on fifty patients underwent MRI examination (patients with painful wrist joint) during this period. Every patient with normal MRI examination had been excluded from this study. All patients were performed MRI in radiology department, Ain Shams University Hospital. The examination carried out after signing the informed consent by the patient himself or his guardian if the patient is incapacitated by any means. Results: The study included 50 patients (21 females and 29 males) rangedin age between 19-70 years with mean age 20-40 [30.90±11.38], 56.0% of the patient were between the age of 20-30 years Conclusion: MRI is modality of choice in evaluating the painful wrist joint diseases due to its high soft tissue contrast resolution, and multi-planar capabilities. It provides a non-invasive tool for the diagnosis of wrist joint disease, which are often difficult to diagnose with alternative modalities. MRI is particularly advantageous for assessing soft tissue structures around the wrist such as tendons, ligaments, nerves, and fascia and for detecting occult bone injuries.

“…Quantitative or semiquantitative measurement of contrast enhancement can be performed using regions of interest. The use of intravenous contrast in bone marrow imaging increases accuracy in distinguishing benign vs. malignant lesions, helps to differentiate between tumor and perilesional edema, and helps to more accurately direct biopsy to a cellular area of tumor (as opposed to a necrotic area) …”

“…The use of intravenous contrast in bone marrow imaging increases accuracy in distinguishing benign vs. malignant lesions, helps to differentiate between tumor and perilesional edema, and helps to more accurately direct biopsy to a cellular area of tumor (as opposed to a necrotic area). 17 Several limitations persist in WBMRI, chief among them the fact that it remains contraindicated for some patients (particularly those with certain older implantable cardiac devices) and also the exclusion (despite the relatively large field of view) of the distal aspect of the upper extremities.…”

Technical advances in the last two decades have allowed rapid, high‐resolution whole‐body magnetic resonance imaging (WBMRI). MRI allows unparalleled visualization and detail in the imaging of bone marrow and surrounding soft tissues. The properties of nuclear magnetic resonance allow superb characterization of bone marrow constituents. WBMRI allows superb characterization of the different types of bone marrow and their natural evolution during the life cycle. Diffusion‐weighted WBMRI is an exciting development that adds functional information to anatomical detail. The mainstay of WBMRI for bone marrow abnormalities to date has centered upon staging multiple myeloma and other hematologic bone marrow conditions, and as a valuable tool in quantifying skeletal metastases. Increasingly, WBMRI is being utilized in a variety of additional malignant and nonmalignant conditions. Due to the absence of ionizing radiation, WBMRI represents a valuable screening tool in areas such as malignant transformation in hereditary multifocal exostoses or for the development of ischemic marrow insult in at‐risk patients. An additional novel area of use includes postmortem WBMRI for characterization of skeletal injuries. This article provides a state‐of‐the‐art and current review of WBMRI of the bone marrow and highlights potential future areas of development. Level of Evidence: 5 Technical Efficacy Stage: 3 J. MAGN.

Background: MR imaging has become the diagnostic modality of choice for the evaluation of traumatic ligamentous, tendinous injures of the ankle and occult bony trauma. This article reviews the current applications of MR imaging for the evaluation of most of these lesions. Ankle sprains are considered the most common lower limb injuries (incidence between 5-7 per 1000 persons/year in Europe), affecting more frequently young athletes; the most common mechanism of injury is represented by inversion of the foot (less frequently eversion). Aim of the Work: The aim of the current study is to emphasize the value of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in evaluation of patients with ankle pain caused by traumatic injury. Patients and Methods: A descriptive study, conducted from March 2017 till June 2017. Sixty patients underwent MRI examination (patients with traumatic ankle pain) during this period. Twenty patients have normal MRI examination and not included in the study while forty patients have positive MRI findings. All patients were performed MRI in radiology department, Ain Shams University Hospital. The examination carried out after signing the informed consent by the patient himself or his guardian if the patient is incapacitated by any means. Results: According to the data collected from our study, we have 70 pathologies diagnosed by MRI after traumatic ankle injuries.-17 (24.3%) of them were ligamentous injuries.-16 (22.9%) were tendon injuries.-14 (20%) were bone injuries [3 (21.43%) of them were fractures and 5 (35.71%) of them were osteochondral lesions and 6 (42.86%) of them were Bone contusions].-23 (32.8%) from the seventy pathology have joint effusion. Conclusion: MRI is modality of choice in evaluating ankle injuries due to its high soft tissue contrast resolution, and multi-planar capabilities. It provides a non-invasive tool for the diagnosis of Ankle injuries, which are often difficult to diagnose with alternative modalities. MRI is particularly advantageous for assessing soft tissue structures around the ankle such as tendons, ligaments, nerves, and fascia and for detecting occult bone injuries.
