Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Purpose:Evaluate the feasibility of T2 cartilage mapping on MRI of the wrist and correlate with T2 mapping of knee cartilage.

Study protocol: Phase 1. 10 healthy volunteers, Phase 2. 10 volunteers with osteoarthritis of the wrist, Phase 3. 50 patients for studies for routine MR of the wrist.

MRI protocol: 3 T unit((Signa EXITE HDx),T1, T2 and T2 mapping sequences on axial and coronal orientation.
