摘要：

This is the first study with high spatial resolution Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), performed with a high resolution coil in a clinical whole-body system. Measurements were recorded with a slice thickness of 2 mm. A 256 x 256 matrix and a 2.5 cm field of view were used resulting in a pixel size of 0.01 mm2. MR images of the skin, hand, wrist, knee and ankle of 14 healthy volunteers, of three anatomic pathology tissue specimens and of three formalin-fixed specimens were obtained. Normal anatomy was identified and compared with the three gross anatomic pathology sections. The skin, hands, wrists and ankles of 30 patients were examined and a variety of pathological lesions were detected, including cutaneous neoplasms and ulceration, acute and chronic tendon lesions and pathologic features of the bone and wrist. Based on the excellent imaging of anatomic detail and superior contrast resolution, high resolution MRI proved an important complement for preoperative diagnosis.
