MRI of wrist ligament trauma was similar at 7 T and 3 T with arthroscopy as a reference standard
Question Previous studies have found that MRI cannot reliably diagnose or rule out TFCC or SLL injury, compared to the current reference standard wrist arthroscopy. Findings The diagnostic accuracy for MRI at 7 T was similar to 3 T for detecting injuries to the TFCC and the SLL. Clinical relevance Although MRI cannot replace wrist arthroscopy, it is an important complementary tool in the diagnostic workup of suspected wrist ligament injuries, with the ability to diagnose additional types of pathologies not accessible by arthroscopy.
