MRI Hand and Wrist
Does your hand hurt? This can be a pain at rest, localised pressure pain, shooting pain or even unclear pain patterns. Perhaps you also suffer from restricted movement, or actions are only possible with pain? A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the hand and wrist at ARISTRA can provide information about possible causes or even rule them out.
Complaints for which an MRI of the hand may be appropriate
- Restriction of movement or movement only with pain
- Pain when you rest your hand
- Localised pressure pain on the inner or outer surface of the hand
- Shooting pain
- Unclear pain
- Swelling or hardening of the hand

Pain or functional impairments of the hand or wrist often lead to severe restrictions in everyday life. A reliable diagnosis of the condition of the complex and delicate structures is possible with an MRI of the hand or an MRI of the wrist. Pathological changes in the extensor and flexor tendons, the ligamentous apparatus and the cartilage of the cartilage disc between the ulna and the carpus (discus triangularis) are often the cause of the symptoms. In active sportspeople and situations following accidents, it is critical to detect hidden bone or joint injuries to avoid or at least minimise long-term consequential damage.
The MRI scan is used to assess the hand or wrist and the surrounding soft tissue (muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, etc.). Depending on the symptoms, the entire hand or just the wrist is examined. The examination is usually carried out in the so-called Superman position in the prone position (if not possible, then alternatively in the supine position) and takes approx. 20 minutes.
MRI examinations of the hand and wrist at ARISTRA are continuously developed in collaboration with internationally recognised experts in musculoskeletal (MSK) imaging. This means that images can be taken on-site using state-of-the-art imaging technology and the latest scientific findings. Your images are analysed by our musculoskeletal specialists.
