Comparison of two-dimensional fast spin-echo T2-weighted sequences and three-dimensional volume isotropic T2-weighted fast spin-echo (VISTA) MRI in the evaluation of triangular fibrocartilage of the wrist.

CONCLUSION: 3D VISTA image quality is similar to that of 2D T2WI for TFC evaluation and is also excellent for tissue contrast. 3D VISTA can replace 2D images in TFC injury assessment. Advances in knowledge: 3D VISTA image quality is similar to that of 2D T2WI for TFC evaluation and is also excellent for tissue contrast. 3D VISTA can replace 2D images in TFC injury assessment.
