Know more about this test

An MRI Left Ankle Joint shows the bones of the joint and the tendons, ligaments, muscles, and blood vessels surrounding them. An MRI test involves a magnetic field and radio waves to produce a series of finely detailed and crystal-clear images.

The ultrasound imaging is unable to assess cartilage and joint injuries and also numerous fractures. Therefore, an MRI scan is frequently used to determine an ankle injury fully. Patients with pacemakers, intracranial aneurysm clips, or Cochlear implants cannot have an MRI because of the intense magnet used. An MRI Left Ankle Joint identifies any broken or fractured ankle bones and any soft tissue injuries, including ligaments, tendons, or muscles around the joint.

FAQs related to MRI Left Ankle Joint (MRI)

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.
