MRI Clavicle

What is an MRI Clavicle Test?

MRI clavicle is also known as the sternoclavicular joints. The sternoclavicular joints can be seen on the MRI scan (SCJ). These are situated where the collar bone (also known as the clavicle) meets the sternum (breastbone). These bones are held together by a network of ligaments, articular cartilage, and tendons, in addition to being supported by nerves.

Why is it done? 

MRIs show malfunctioning tissues clearly. A CT scan is superior for diagnosing chest and lung issues and some malignancies. It's excellent for scanning ligaments, tendons, the spinal cord, and other soft tissues.
