A hand MRI is an imaging study of the hand using a magnetic resonance imaging technique. The doctor may order an MRI for getting high-quality images of various internal aspects of the hand with respect to the bones, ligaments, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels. Sometimes, the MRI technician may inject a substance called contrasting dye to look for a particular pathology. Essentially, the procedure involves thrusting your body into an electromagnetic field that penetrates the body and generates images with the scanner for a thorough evaluation.
