MRI B/L KNEE - 3 TESLA

An MRI of Bilateral (B/L) Knees is an imaging test that provides detailed images of both knee joints, allowing doctors to assess soft tissues and bones within the knee area. It’s particularly useful for diagnosing conditions affecting the cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and other soft tissues around the knee joints.

Purpose:

• Diagnosing Knee Injuries: Useful for identifying ligament tears (e.g., ACL, PCL), meniscus injuries, cartilage damage, and other knee injuries.
• Assessing Arthritis and Degenerative Changes: Helps in evaluating osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other degenerative joint conditions.
• Detecting Inflammation and Infections: Useful for identifying synovitis, bursitis, and infections around the knee joint.

How it Works:

• MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves to capture high-resolution images of both knees, providing cross-sectional views.
• The scan is non-invasive and does not involve radiation, making it safe for repeated use if necessary.

Advantages:

• Detailed Imaging of Soft Tissues: MRI is highly effective for viewing the soft tissues within the knee, providing clear images of ligaments, tendons, and cartilage.
• Non-Invasive and Safe: No radiation exposure is involved, making it a safer option for diagnostics.
• Effective for Bilateral Assessment: Allows doctors to evaluate both knees in a single scan, useful for comparing conditions in both joints.
