Published in: Pediatric radiology (2023)
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) diagnosis of underlying finger pathology can be intimidating due to the presence of unique anatomy. The small size of the fingers and the unique orientation of the thumb compared to the fingers also introduce unique demands on the MRI system and the technologists performing the study. This article will review the anatomy pertinent to injuries at the fingers, provide protocol guidance, and discuss pathology encountered at the fingers. Although much of the encountered pathology in the fingers overlaps with adults, unique pathology to children will be highlighted when applicable.
