Get your CEMRI Extremities at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, an NABL- and NABH-certified, well-equipped diagnostic centre. We offer advanced services in Radiology and Imaging. CEMRI Extremities offers an MRI scan of the selected limb/extremity (one) that can give a detailed view of the bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and surrounding soft tissues.

About CEMRI Extremities

A specialized type of MRI exam that focuses on the arms or legs, called CEMRI Extremities. The exam can give specific details of soft tissue conditions, inflammation, infection, masses, and more in the extremities. A scan may be recommended if a previous imaging scan has found an abnormality and/or a detailed contrast-enhanced evaluation is needed.

What is CEMRI Extremities?

Contrast-Enhanced MRI of the Extremities uses MRI with intravenous contrast material when clinically indicated to provide additional information about tissues and abnormalities. It employs powerful magnets together with radio waves to generate high-resolution pictures of the chosen extremity. During the exam, a contrast agent is used to highlight some tissue and abnormalities so that the doctor can judge the extent and location of the abnormality and the appearance of the tissues.

Common Reasons for CEMRI Extremities

• Persistent or unexplained pain in an extremity
• Swelling or tenderness
• Evaluation of a soft-tissue mass or lesion
• Suspected infection or inflammation
• Suspected bone or bone marrow abnormality
• Assessment of muscle, tendon, or ligament problems
• Evaluation of joint abnormalities
• Further assessment of abnormalities detected on previous imaging
• Follow-up of a known lesion or previous treatment
• Assessment of post-surgical or post-treatment changes

Conditions Evaluated

Bone and Bone Marrow Abnormalities

CEMRI can provide detailed information about the bones and bone marrow of the selected extremity, helping evaluate edema, inflammation, infection, lesions, and other abnormalities.

Muscle and Soft-Tissue Abnormalities

The examination provides detailed visualization of muscles and soft tissues and can help assess injuries, inflammation, masses, and other structural changes.

Tendon and Ligament Abnormalities

MRI can evaluate tendons and ligaments for tears, inflammation, degeneration, and other abnormalities.

Soft-Tissue Masses

Contrast enhancement can help characterize soft-tissue masses and lesions by showing their size, location, extent, and enhancement pattern.

Infection and Inflammation

CEMRI may assist in evaluating suspected infection or inflammatory changes involving the bones, joints, muscles, or surrounding soft tissues.

Joint Abnormalities

The examination can assess joints of the selected extremity for structural changes, inflammation, fluid, and other abnormalities.

Tumours and Other Lesions

Contrast-enhanced MRI can assist in evaluating suspected bone and soft-tissue tumours and determining their relationship with surrounding structures.

Who Should Consider This MRI?

For patients with persistent pain or swelling, with suspected infected or unexplained soft-tissue changes or known lesions, patients may be a candidate for CEMRI Extremities, which may be indicated for detailed contrast-enhanced evaluation of an arm or leg. It may also be suggested if a previous imaging test found an abnormality that needs to be further characterized.

Benefits of CEMRI Extremities

• Provides detailed images of the selected extremity
• Evaluates bones and soft tissues in detail
• Helps characterize masses and lesions
• Provides enhanced visualization of inflammation and infection
• Helps assess muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, and surrounding structures
• Supports detailed evaluation of known abnormalities
• Does not use ionizing radiation
• Helps doctors with diagnosis, treatment planning, and follow-up
