A Knee MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) examination utilizes energy from solid magnets to take photos of the knee joint and muscles and tissues.
An MRI doesn't utilize radiation (x-beams). Single MRI pictures are called cuts. The pictures can be put away on a PC or imprinted on film. One test produces many pictures.

An introduction to knee MRI

An MRI Scan combines magnets and radio waves to create images within your body without the need for surgery. A knee MRI examines your knee and its surrounding areas.

An MRI allows your doctor to see your soft tissues as well as your bones. It helps them to examine the parts of the knee that may have been harmed during physical activity or due to wear and tear. The examination may generate detailed images of the knee's cartilage, bones, tendons, ligaments, muscles, and blood vessels. An MRI produces images with more contrast than other examinations.

Your doctor may recommend that you have a special type of MRI called an MRI arthrogram. Your doctor will inject a contrast fluid, or dye, into your knee during this surgery to get a better image of its structure.

What can be the causes of a knee MRI?

If your doctor suspects any problems in your knee joint, he or she may conduct an MRI scan. The test allows your doctor to see the structure of your knee and diagnose the source of your pain, inflammation, or weakness without undergoing surgery.

An MRI is typically ordered to assist doctors in diagnosing and treating a wide range of health problems, according to the Radiological Society of North America. These are a few examples:

1. Rheumatoid arthritis and other degenerative joint conditions

2. Fractured bones

3. Deterioration of cartilage, ligaments, meniscus or tendons

4. Reduced knee joint motion

5. Knee fluid accumulation

6. Infection

7. Complications with implanted medical devices

8. Sports-related or trauma-related injury

9. Tumors

Along with your knee MRI, your doctor can ask for other imaging tests, such as an X-ray. Before performing a knee arthroscopy, they could also ask for an MRI. This is a minor operation in which a doctor scans the inside of your knee through a small incision and inserts a scope equipped with a camera.

The risks associated with knee MRI

An MRI, unlike X-rays and CT scans, does not employ radiation. It is believed to be a safer option for everyone, especially kids and pregnant women. CT scan radiation levels are safe for adults, but not for developing fetuses and should be utilized with caution in children.

If you have metal implants, you are at risk. An MRI's magnets can interfere with pacemakers or cause implanted screws or pins to shift in the body.

Some people may become allergic to the contrast dye used in MRIs. Gadolinium is the most common form of contrast dye. These allergic reactions, according to the Radiological Society of North America, are frequently moderate and easily tackled by medicine.

How the Test is Performed?
You will wear a clinic outfit or garments without metal zippers or snaps, (for example, warm-up pants and a shirt). Kindly eliminate your watches, glasses, adornments, and wallet. Particular kinds of metal can cause hazy pictures.
You will lie on a tight table that slides into a huge passage like a scanner.
A few tests utilize an exceptional colour (contrast). More often than not, you will help the colour through a vein (IV) in your arm or hand before the test. Now and then, the colour is infused into a joint. The colour assists the radiologist with seeing specific regions all the more obviously.
During the MRI, the individual who works the machine will watch you from another room. The test most frequently endures 30 to an hour, yet may take longer. It tends to be clear. The specialist can give you some earplugs if necessary.
