You can have an MRI Both Hands with Contrast at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, which is an advanced centre for Radiology and diagnostic imaging with NABL & NABH Accreditation. MRI Both Hands With Contrast is a particular type of imaging test which uses a powerful magnetic field and an intravenous material to image both hands to look for conditions affecting the bones, joints, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and soft tissue. It is useful for doctors to find the cause of inflammatory arthritis, to be able to investigate persistent joint swelling, a suspected infection, a soft-tissue mass, and occasionally problems of bone or joint abnormalities. When clinically indicated, contrast-enhanced imaging can give information that may help with lesion characteristics, inflammation, and better understanding of tissue vascularity, assisting with diagnosis and treatment planning.

About MRI Both Hands With Contrast

MRI Both Hands With Contrast is an advanced MRI examination that is used to view the structures of the right and left hands in detail. It is an MRI technology that uses a gadolinium-based intravenous (IV) contrast agent, if indicated, to produce some soft-tissue imaging. Both hands could be examined for the small bones, joints, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and soft tissue that surround them. Contrast enhancement is used for the identification and characterization of specific parts of inflammatory change, infections, masses, and other abnormalities. This test may be ordered if symptoms are present in both hands or the doctor needs a detailed evaluation of any abnormalities in multiple joints or soft tissue of the body.

What is MRI Both Hands With Contrast?

MRI is an acronym for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. It utilizes powerful magnets and radiofrequency waves to produce high-quality images without the use of X-rays, radiation, or other ionizing agents. Contrast agent is advised during a MRI scan with contrast which medication is administered into a vein with an intravenously administered, gadolinium based contrast agent. Contrast can help characterise tissue enhancement and assess selected abnormalities. MRI Both Hands With Contrast might have sequences both before and after the injection of the contrast. This will vary depending on the patient's symptoms, clinical history, and the radiologist's assessment.

Common Reasons for MRI Both Hands With Contrast

• Persistent pain in both hands: Evaluation of continued or unexplained symptoms being medically reviewed in detail (using imaging techniques).
• Assessment of certain inflammatory changes in the small joints of the hands (inflammatory arthritis).
• Suspected infection: a process of investigation of suspected bone, joint, or soft tissue infection.
• Soft tissue masses: Description of the characteristics of any selected lumps or abnormal tissue growths.
• Bone marrow abnormalities: More tests of bone marrow, if indicated.
• Abnormalities in the tendons or ligaments: Evaluation of injuries or inflammatory conditions which may affect the ligaments and tendon integrity.
• Evaluation of inflammation of tendon sheaths (tenosynovitis).
• Post-traumatic complications: Evaluation of a hand injury that has a continued symptom complex or specific abnormalities.
• Postoperative assessment: Investigating suspected abnormal tissue changes or complaints or suspected postoperative complications when clinically indicated.

Conditions Evaluated

Tendon and Ligament Abnormalities

MRI can provide information about any kind of inflammation, degeneration, and tears in the tendons and ligaments. If a soft tissue abnormal process or inflammation is suspected, then additional information may be available by using the contrast-enhanced sequences.

Bone and Bone Marrow Lesions

The examination gives exquisite views of the small bones in both hands, and may be useful in assessing selected bone marrow abnormalities, inflammatory changes, and suspicious lesions. Contrast may be given in a clinically indicated manner to add further characterization.

Bone and Soft-Tissue Infections

MRI can be beneficial when evaluating suspected septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, and certain soft tissue infections. Imaging may be helpful to show the amount of inflammation or to recognize the presence of any abscess.
