Wrist MRI anatomy
Wrist MRI anatomy packs carpal bones, ligaments and tendons into a small field. Practise naming the structures on real MRI slices — the fastest way to make wrist anatomy stick. Free, no account needed.
Try it now — read the slice, name the arrowed structure:
SAG · T1TE 12 · TR 500Which anatomical structure is arrowed?
Single answer — type the structure
Correct — corpus callosum
The carpal bones
Learn the two rows — scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform, then trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, hamate — on coronal images. They orient every other structure.
TFCC and ligaments
Identify the triangular fibrocartilage complex on the ulnar side, with the scapholunate and lunotriquetral ligaments between the carpal bones. These are the common points of interest.
Tendons and the carpal tunnel
Follow the flexor and extensor tendon compartments on axial images, with the median nerve in the carpal tunnel. Naming these on real images builds recall.
Keep practising by region
Move through the rest of imaging anatomy one region at a time — brain and body CT, cardiac and musculoskeletal MRI — and let each explanation fix the structure in memory.
