MRI
MRI is an advanced diagnostic technology that uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create detailed images of internal structures. This sophisticated imaging technique provides our specialists with precise views of soft tissues, joints, and bones, allowing for accurate diagnosis of various musculoskeletal conditions without using radiation.
Is this Right for Me?
Patients experiencing joint pain, suspected ligament or tendon injuries, spinal conditions, or other musculoskeletal problems may require an MRI for accurate diagnosis. Our team determines the need for MRI based on physical examination findings, symptoms, and specific diagnostic requirements to ensure appropriate treatment planning.
Procedure
During the scan, patients lie comfortably on a cushioned table that moves into the MRI machine. The procedure is painless and typically takes 20-45 minutes, depending on the area being examined. Our advanced MRI technology produces high-resolution images from multiple angles, providing our specialists with comprehensive views of the affected area.
Recovery
There is no recovery time needed after an MRI scan, and patients can immediately return to their normal activities. Following the scan, our radiologists carefully analyze the detailed images and provide a comprehensive report to your treating physician. This precise diagnostic information allows our specialists to develop targeted treatment plans, ensuring the most appropriate care for each patient's condition.
