MR Arthrogram Scan

An arthrogram is a diagnostic tool medical professionals use to identify joint disorders, such as hip or shoulder pain. MR arthrograms can reveal ligament, tendon, and cartilage abnormalities in exquisite detail. A specific dye is injected into your joint before undergoing an MRI or other imaging procedure.

Why is it done?

Arthrograms assess the joint tissues of the body. Typically, this technique is performed to evaluate your shoulder (called a shoulder arthrogram) or hip (hip arthrogram).

Your doctor may suggest an arthrogram to examine:

* Shoulder pain, such as that caused by tendinitis or bursitis.
* Hip discomfort.
* Knee discomfort.
* Elbow pain, such as that caused by tennis elbow.
* Ankle discomfort.
* Wrist discomfort.

What is the procedure for the Arthrogram MR Screening Test?

Patients must lie still during the MR procedure.

How does one prepare for the test?

* Tell your technician about surgical staples, clips, or pacemakers. You may need to remove jewellery and watches.
* If you are pregnant, notify your technician, as radiation may harm the baby.
