Know more about this test

A Magnetic Resonance Imagining (MRI) of the Fore Arm is used to visualize the bones and joints of the forearm along with the surrounding soft tissues like the cartilages, tendons, ligaments, muscles, and blood vessels. The area of the forearm includes the elbow, bones of the forearm (radius and ulna), and the wrist. 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 fracture of the bones of the forearm and to diagnose suspected infection, osteoporosis, deformities, or abnormal growth of the bones.

FAQs related to MRI Fore-arm with Contrast

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.

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.
