The value of using the technique of magic angle MR imaging to demonstrate finger tendons is explored. Images of fresh frozen cadaveric specimens are presented and the structures that can be visualized in the finger are described. The results suggest that magic angle MR imaging may be a useful non-invasive technique of visualizing the details of the tendons and their surrounds in the hand.

Key Words: magnetic resonance imaging • flexor tendon • pulleys • magic angle
