B
C
Radiography assesses for static and dynamic carpal instability with the scapholunate angle being the most important angle, and MRI and arthroscopy also used for diagnosis. +
urgent MRI. +
MRI cervical spine +
Controlled diagnostic third occipital nerve blocks +
Laboratory tests, electrophysiology studies +
Dynamic xray and MRI +
MRI showing reduced mid-sagittal spinal canal diameter (definitions vary) +
D
Radiograph, CT +
F
Oblique coronal MRI, diffusion tensor imaging, selective nerve block. +
Plain films, but MRI gold standard. +
Plain films and MRI +
Limited laboratory testing to rule out other conditions. +
G
Usually not required but can include X-ray, Ultrasound, MRI. +
H
