1. To discuss a practical approach for MRI evaluation of hand and wrist masses, including optimal sequences and the use of intravenous contrast. 2. To present the characteristic MRI findings of hand and wrist masses, ranging from common to uncommon, and benign to malignant lesions. 3. To emphasize the understanding of MRI tissue characteristics of hand and wrist masses in correlation with underlying pathologic findings.
