Get your MRI Skeletogram at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, which is an NABL- and NABH-accredited diagnostic centre providing advanced MRI, Radiology, Nuclear Medicine, and Pathology services. MRI Skeletogram offers excellent visualization of the skeletal system and can be used to assess bones, bone marrow, joints, and surrounding soft tissue for a range of abnormalities.
About MRI Skeletogram
MRI Skeletogram is a detailed scan of many areas of the skeleton. It is specific and can include information regarding the surrounding muscles, joints, and soft tissues, and can help the doctor determine pathological or structural changes in the bone and bone marrow.
What is an MRI Skeletogram?
MRI Skeletogram employs magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of specific parts of the skeleton. It may assist in uncovering defects of the bone, bone marrow, and related soft tissues. The clinical requirement may dictate the regions of the skeleton that should be examined.
Common Reasons for MRI Skeletogram
MRI Skeletogram may be advised for:
- Evaluation of unexplained bone pain
- Suspected bone or bone marrow abnormalities
- Assessment of multiple skeletal lesions
- Suspected fractures or bone injuries
- Evaluation of infection or inflammation
- Assessment of bone tumours or lesions
- Evaluation of joint and surrounding soft-tissue abnormalities
- Follow-up of known skeletal conditions
- Assessment of treatment response
- Further evaluation of abnormalities detected on other imaging
Conditions Evaluated
Bone and Bone Marrow Abnormalities
MRI provides detailed visualization of bone marrow and can help identify abnormal changes that may not be clearly seen on routine X-rays.
Bone Tumours and Lesions
The examination can help detect and characterize suspicious bone lesions and assess their relationship with surrounding tissues.
Bone Injuries and Fractures
MRI can assist in evaluating certain fractures, stress injuries, and other bone abnormalities, particularly when initial imaging is inconclusive.
Bone Infection and Inflammation
MRI can help identify inflammatory changes and suspected infections involving bones and surrounding soft tissues.
Joint Abnormalities
Depending on the areas examined, MRI can provide detailed information about joints, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and surrounding soft tissues.

Test information: Usually, no fasting is required.
Reporting: None
- Usually, no fasting is required for a routine MRI Skeletogram examination.
- Follow any specific instructions provided by the medical team before the scan.
- Inform the MRI team about any pacemaker, implanted medical device, surgical clips, artificial joints, medication pumps, or other metallic implants.
- Inform the team if you have ever had a metallic fragment injury, particularly involving the eyes.
- Inform the medical team about any previous surgery, injury, biopsy, or treatment involving the bones, joints, or soft tissues being examined.
- Provide details of all current medicines and supplements.
- If contrast-enhanced imaging is planned, inform the medical team about any previous contrast reaction or kidney disease/reduced kidney function.
- Inform the team if you are pregnant or planning pregnancy.
- Bring previous MRI, CT, X-ray, ultrasound reports, bone scans, prescriptions, and other relevant medical records.
- Remove jewellery, watches, belts, hair accessories, and other metallic or magnetic objects before entering the MRI room.
- Wear comfortable clothing suitable for the examination.
- Inform the staff if pain, stiffness, or restricted movement makes it difficult to maintain the required position.
- Remain still during image acquisition to reduce motion-related image distortion.
