MRI of the knee joint is based on the action of a tomograph: a powerful electromagnetic field is created, to which proton structures in human tissues react. Such a reaction (resonance) is captured by the device and forms a contrast image. The visualization technology involves the creation of multiple two-dimensional projections (slices) in a randomly selected
MRI of the knee joint is based on the action of a tomograph: a powerful electromagnetic field is created, to which proton structures in human tissues react. Such a reaction (resonance) is captured by the device and forms a contrast image. The visualization technology involves the creation of multiple two-dimensional projections (slices) in an arbitrarily selected plane, which allows a specialist to draw conclusions about pathological changes with a high degree of reliability.

MRI of the knee joint: advantages

Magnetic resonance imaging is necessary for examining the condition of bones, for analyzing chemical and physical processes, assessing disorders of bone tissue structure, in case of injuries to the knee ligaments, in case of meniscus tear. Unlike X-rays, MRI is more informative and safer, since it does not have a dangerous radiation effect on the body.

Indications for diagnostics

MRI of the knee joint is recommended in the following cases:

  • in case of damage to the meniscus and ligaments;
  • in case of injuries caused by sports activities or other prolonged physical activity, including blows;
  • in case of infection;
  • if neoplasms are suspected;
  • in the presence of symptoms of inflammation: bleeding in tissues, pain, swelling.

Are there any restrictions to MRI: contraindications

The presence of ferromagnetic implants, cardiac muscle pacemakers, vascular clips, metal fragments, plates, etc.

Preparation for the process of magnetic resonance imaging

MRI of the knee joint does not require special preparation. It is necessary to remove all metal accessories, use cotton underwear. If the patient cannot spend the entire session still, then sedatives may be administered.
