Special Instructions:
Indications: ganglion in the wrist , internal derangement , wrist pain

If metal is in the area of interest or near enough for artifact to effect it:

- if option is available, use WARP option with VAT @ at least 50% (can go higher for larger implants)

- Use a high receiver bandwidth (approx. 500 Hz/pixel)

- for T1-weighted fat-saturated sequence, turn off all fat-saturation

- for T2-weighted fat-saturated sequences, substitute in STIR sequences with the same geometric parameters; STIR sequences must be performed pre-contrast due to the possibility of contrast-enhancing areas being nulled due to the short inversion time
