MR imaging has increasingly been used to image joints since its inception. Historically, there has been more emphasis on the evaluation of internal derangement rather than cartilaginous disease. This article reviews cartilaginous diseases of the upper extremity emphasizing those that can be assessed using current clinical MR imaging protocols and addresses the limitations of current imaging techniques in evaluating the articular cartilage of smaller joints. It also provides a brief overview of novel techniques that may be instituted in the future to improve the diagnostic performance of MR imaging in the evaluation of the articular cartilage of the upper extremity.
自磁共振成像（MR成像）问世以来，它在关节成像中的应用越来越广泛。从历史上看，人们更侧重于评估关节内紊乱而非软骨疾病。本文回顾了上肢的软骨疾病，重点介绍了那些可以通过当前临床MR成像协议进行评估的疾病，并探讨了当前成像技术在评估较小关节的关节软骨方面的局限性。此外，本文还简要概述了未来可能采用的新技术，以提高MR成像在上肢关节软骨评估中的诊断性能。
