What is MRI Both Ankle Joints With Contrast?
A Magnetic Resonance Imagining (MRI) of the Both Ankle With Contrast is used to visualize the bones of the ankle joint (tibia and fibula) along with the surrounding soft tissues like the tendons, ligaments, muscles, and blood vessels. The contrast helps in increasing the visibility of the internal organs and hence improves the sensitivity and diagnostic accuracy of the MRI scan.
This test is prescribed by the doctor to diagnose any fractured bones of the ankle joint and the images obtained from MRI provide a roadmap for surgeons to make repairs to broken bones, torn ligaments, and ruptured tendons.
Why is MRI Both Ankle Joints With Contrast done?
- To diagnose any broken/fractured bones of the ankle joint
- To diagnose any injury to the soft tissues like ligaments, tendons or the surrounding muscles

Frequently Asked Questions about MRI Both Ankle Joints With Contrast
Q. What are the drawbacks of a bone X-ray?
X-ray images give a very clear view of the bones. However, it does not provide a good visual image of the soft tissues like tendons, muscles or fat tissue under the skin. Even the bone microfractures or complicated spine injuries are not clearly visible on the X Ray images. Apart from this, it also exposes the patient to some amount of radiations but the benefit of the information gained from an X-ray image outweighs the risk of radiations.
Q. Who interprets the X-ray results?
The interpretation of an X-Ray image is carried out by a radiologist who analyses or reads the X-ray image and prepares a report of the findings which is shared with the patient.
