Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan (thick slab) of the bones of the wrist, showing a fractured scaphoid bone (almond shaped, centre left). The affected bone has a dark interior with the fracture seen across it (from far left). The hand is at top, the forearm at bottom. The scaphoid bone is located where the thumb joins the wrist, and a fracture usually results from a fall onto an outstretched hand.
