ABSTRACT
The objective of this study was to evaluate the role of MRI in studying different causes of painful wrist. Twenty-six patients with painful wrist were evaluated by MR1 examination on MRI bases. The 26 patients were classified into six groups. The first group included six patients with avascular necrosis of one of the carpal bones. The second group included four patients had occult fracture of one of the carpal bones. The third group included seven patients with carpal ligaments tear. The 5th group had three patients with carpa1 tunnel syndrome and the last group included two patients with synovail lesions. MRI as new, noninvasive and non-ionizing radiation imaging modality is considered the best test to evaluate the bony and soft tissue causes of wrist pain. Therefore, it will eventually reduce the need of invasive modalities
