Abstract

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this article is to review the general guidelines for MRI of the finger and emphasize normal finger anatomy as it relates to abnormalities and injuries. CONCLUSION. Advanced imaging, particularly MRI, is increasingly relied on to make the diagnosis and guide management of finger injuries. It is incumbent on radiologists to understand the complex anatomy of the fingers as well as to be familiar with common injuries and aspects of injuries that affect management in order to meaningfully contribute to patient care.
