Advanced Orthopedic MRI Imaging

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) uses a powerful magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the structures inside your body. Unlike X-rays, MRI is particularly useful for evaluating soft tissues and other structures that may not appear clearly on traditional radiographs.

For orthopedic patients, MRI imaging can provide detailed views of bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and other soft tissues. Your physician may recommend an MRI to evaluate an injury, investigate persistent pain, confirm a diagnosis, or help guide your treatment plan.

At Proliance Orthopedic Associates, diagnostic imaging is part of our comprehensive approach to orthopedic care. Having MRI services available within the POA system allows our orthopedic specialists to use detailed imaging alongside your examination and medical history to better understand your condition and determine appropriate next steps.

What to Expect During Your MRI

MRI is a noninvasive imaging exam that does not use ionizing radiation. During your exam, an MRI technologist will help position you comfortably on a table that moves into the MRI scanner. You will hear knocking and other sounds while images are being taken, and your technologist will remain in contact with you throughout the exam.

Depending on the area being examined, an MRI may take approximately 10 to 40 minutes. Remaining still during the scan helps your care team obtain the clearest images possible.

Before your appointment, let your physician or MRI technologist know if you have a pacemaker, artificial heart valve, aneurysm clips, metallic implants or other metal in your body, or if you are or may be pregnant.

Preparing for Your MRI Appointment

Wear comfortable clothing without metal buttons or zippers and remove jewelry and other metal-containing items before your exam. Unless your care team provides different instructions, you may generally eat, drink, and take your prescribed medications as usual.

Some MRI examinations may require contrast to provide additional detail. Your care team will let you know if contrast or any other special preparation is needed for your exam.

If your physician prescribes a sedative to help you feel more comfortable during the MRI, please arrange for someone to drive you home afterward.
