[Abstract] MRI examination can clearly reflect the contents of the wrist contour and position of triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC), articular cartilage, carpal interosseous ligament, synovial fluid, bone marrow changes and multi-level bone structural changes of joint area. In this literature, MR imaging examination in the wrist pain was reviewed, introducing commonly examination methods of the wrist, MR imaging findings of common diseases which result in wrist pain and a number of new imaging methodologies.
