Musculoskeletal MRI
Musculoskeletal MRI is a noninvasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. MR imaging uses a powerful magnetic field, radio frequency pulses and a computer to produce detailed pictures of organs, soft tissues, bone and virtually all other internal body structures. The images can then be examined on a computer monitor, printed or copied to a CD. MRI does not use ionizing radiation (x-rays).
MRI Arthrography
MRI Arthrography is a two part imaging study designed to diagnose problems within a joint (e.g., shoulder, hip, wrist, and elbow) with the aid of a contrast agent, which is introduced into the joint under a local anesthetic. When the contrast agent is in the joint, it enhances the visualization of joint structures and improves MRI evaluation of joint abnormalities.
Plain Film Interpretation (X-Rays)
Plain Film Interpretation is a noninvasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. Imaging with x-rays involves exposing a part of the body to a small dose of ionizing radiation to produce pictures of the inside of the body. X-rays are the oldest and most frequently used form of medical imaging.
CT Arthrography
CT Arthrography is a two part imaging study designed to diagnose problems within a joint (e.g., shoulder, hip, wrist, and elbow) with the aid of a contrast agent, which is introduced into the joint under a local anesthetic. When the contrast agent is in joint, it enhances the visualization of joint structures and improves CT evaluation of joint abnormalities.
