MRI - Knee Joint
MRI – Knee Joint is an advanced imaging procedure that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of the knee joint, including bones, cartilage, menisci, ligaments, tendons, and surrounding soft tissues. It provides excellent visualization of both structural and soft tissue components, making it highly effective for accurate diagnosis.
This scan is commonly used to detect ligament injuries such as ACL or PCL tears, meniscal injuries, cartilage damage, arthritis, inflammation, infections, and tumors. It is especially useful in evaluating knee pain, swelling, instability, or sports-related injuries. MRI can also help identify early-stage joint problems that may not be visible on X-rays or CT scans.
The procedure is safe, painless, and does not involve radiation, making it suitable for repeated imaging if needed.
This test is recommended for individuals:
- Experiencing persistent knee pain or swelling
- With limited movement or instability in the knee
- Suspected of ligament or meniscal injuries
- Having sports-related knee injuries
- With degenerative joint conditions
- Requiring detailed evaluation of knee structures
