Joint MRI

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to perform diagnostic studies of various organ systems of the body without X-ray radiation, including magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and whole-body MRI with three-dimensional imaging.

General information

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the joints is a highly precise examination method that allows getting a detailed picture of the joint structure, without the use of X-ray radiation. This method is one of the most important components in diagnosing various diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system.

In what cases is it performed?

Joint MRI is prescribed when suspecting a number of pathologies, such as injuries, inflammations, deformations, or tumors in the joint area. An MRI may be ordered by an orthopedic surgeon, rheumatologist, traumatologist, or general surgeon.

What examinations do we perform?

MRI of the knee

Allows a detailed assessment of the structure of the knee joint, detecting injuries to the meniscus, cartilage, ligaments, and tumor formations.

MRI of the shoulder

Examines the structures of the shoulder joint, including the joint capsule, soft tissue, and tendons. Helps to identify arthritis, injuries, and other disorders.

MRI of the hip joint

Provides an image of the hip joint, while detecting any degenerative changes, arthritis, and even oncological problems at early stages.

MRI of other joints

In addition to the above-mentioned procedures, other joints (elbow joint, wrist joint, etc.) can also be examined, depending on the medical requirement.
