Thirty arms of healthy adults were studied with MR imaging using surface coil. Fine structures of the arm, such as muscular bundles, small vessels and nerves were clearly demonstrated. Deep fascia dividing muscular bundles appeared as high intensity on T1-weighed image due to fat deposition beneath the fascia. Aponeurosis is also flat sheet of densely arranged collagen fibers. With rather thicker layer of collagen fibers than fascia, aponeurosis appeared as low intensity sheet that was frequently demonstrated on MR images of the extremities.
