The abstract describes the use of the TrueFISP pulse sequence for observation and quantitative measurement of carpal bone angles and distances during active wrist motion, and demonstrates its performance in healthy human volunteers. High spatial and temporal resolution dynamic images provide diagnostically important measurements for assessment of carpal bone instability, tendon dislocation, and other pathologies of the wrist joint.
