MR Arthrogram

An MR arthrography is an imaging technique that utilizes MRI equipment and a fluoroscopy to provide an in-depth look at the structures of joints. Certain joint tears and injuries can be difficult to diagnose due to the uncertainty of the size of an injury and how it occurred in the joint. An MR arthrogram helps provide a proper diagnosis of unexplainable joint pain a lot quicker than conventional MRI scans or X-rays.

An MR arthrogram requires no special preparation. You are allowed to eat and drink before your appointment. Medications may continue to be taken unless instructed otherwise by your referring physician. If you have any questions, reach out to your referring physician or our team at SJRA here.

• Used to diagnose unexplainable pain in the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and other joints. If you suspect ligament damage or joint tears, an MR arthrogram is preferred.
• Minimally invasive MRI imaging technique
• Can discover medical abnormalities that are obscured by parts of the body such as a bone or cartilage.
