₹10000
MRI is an advanced medical imaging test using a magnetic field and the use of radio waves. The advanced radiology and imaging department at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, accredited by NABL and NABH, uses an injection of a contrast agent in the patient to perform an MRI. Contrast-enhanced specialized MRI of the bones, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments of the left knee and the soft tissue is used to assess for specific abnormalities.
About MRI Left Knee with Contrast
MRI Left Knee With Contrast is an extensive imaging software program tool that helps evaluate left knee structures to support clinical decision-making when the use of contrast is clinically indicated. It can be helpful to learn about soft tissue changes, inflammation, infections, masses, joint changes, and other abnormalities of the knee. Routine imaging may not be sufficient, or if there is an abnormality, it is recommended to get more detail.
What is MRI Left Knee with Contrast?
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the left knee with contrast is an imaging test that produces detailed images of the left knee with the use of a powerful magnetic field and radio waves. It is given during the exam to show the radiologist specific tissues or abnormalities and provide the doctor with more information. During the scan, the bones, cartilage, joint, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and surrounding soft tissues of the knee will be assessed.
Common Reasons for MRI Left Knee with Contrast
- Persistent or unexplained left knee pain
- Swelling or tenderness around the knee
- Suspected infection or inflammation
- Evaluation of a soft-tissue mass or lesion
- Suspected bone or soft-tissue abnormality
- Assessment of tendon or ligament problems
- Evaluation of joint and cartilage abnormalities
- Follow-up of a known lesion or previous treatment
- Assessment of post-surgical changes
- Further evaluation of an abnormality detected on previous imaging
Conditions Evaluated
Bone and Bone Marrow Abnormalities
MRI can provide detailed information about the bones and bone marrow of the left knee, helping evaluate edema, inflammation, infection, lesions, and other abnormalities.
Meniscus and Cartilage Abnormalities
The examination can assess the menisci and articular cartilage for tears, degeneration, inflammation, and other structural changes.
Ligament and Tendon Injuries
MRI provides detailed visualization of the ligaments and tendons around the knee and can help identify tears, inflammation, degeneration, and other abnormalities.
Soft-Tissue Lesions
Contrast-enhanced MRI can help characterize soft-tissue masses and lesions by showing their extent and enhancement pattern.
Infection and Inflammation
MRI with contrast can assist in evaluating suspected infection or inflammatory changes involving the bones, joint, or surrounding soft tissues.
Post-Surgical and Treatment Changes
The scan may be used to assess the knee following surgery or treatment and to evaluate persistent or recurrent abnormalities.
Joint Abnormalities
MRI can provide detailed assessment of the knee joint, including joint fluid, synovial changes, cartilage, and surrounding structures.
