Ochman S, et al. – The experts undertook this study to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of 3T MRI compared with arthroscopy as the gold standard. In diagnosing cartilage lesions, 3T MRI proved to be of good value, particularly in the distal carpal row, whereas wrist arthroscopy provided therapeutic options. For pre–operatively evaluating the cartilage of the distal carpal, 3T MRI was a good diagnostic tool row when evaluating the surgical therapeutical options.
