Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) left shoulder with contrast uses gadolinium which is very safe and has rare side effects. It is used to capture detailed images of the shoulder joint, bones, tendons etc. These detailed images allow doctors to identify defects and diseases. Done using a large machine that uses magnetic fields and radio waves is typically done to identify arthritis, fractures, infections, pains, tumours, swellings, etc.

It has proven very beneficial in diagnosing a broad range of conditions. The MRI testing poses almost no risk on an average person when safety guidelines are followed. Even the strong magnetic fields are not harmful. If you are breastfeeding, consult a doctor before the contrast medium is used since it can spread to the breast milk and be passed onto the baby.

FAQs related to MRI Left Shoulder 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.
