Overview
What is MRI Right Leg?
The MRI scan visualizes the bone and soft tissues of the right leg and allows the doctor to distinguish normal, healthy tissue from diseased tissue. It helps visualize the structures of the right leg producing detailed images of the surrounding muscles and blood vessels.
The MRI scan uses strong magnetic and radio waves to create clear multiple images of the right leg which can be stored on an electronic device and then printed on a film. The whole MRI scan procedure takes about 40-60 minutes.

Answers to Patient Concerns & Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about MRI Right Leg
Frequently Asked Questions about MRI Right Leg
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.
