Guidelines to follow before, during and after the test

Here are some guidelines an individual can refer to once they have decided to undergo a MRI Scan of Left Knee.

Before the Test

Very little preparation is generally required before the scan

Some of the steps are listed below:

  1. At the hospital, just before the test is done, the patient is asked to change into the gown.

Reason: As magnets would be used in the test, it is truly critical that no metal objects are detected by the scanner. This also holds good for metal jewellery or accessories that might interfere with the MRI machine.

Note: No MRI can be taken if there are bullets, shrapnel, or metallic foreign body in the body.

  1. This also holds good for medical devices, cochlear implants, any aneurysm clips, or pacemakers. No metallic devices can be present, while being in the MRI scanner.
  2. Apprehensive Individuals because of enclosed spaces should inform the doctor. They also might be some prior given medication to make the procedure simpler and comfortable.

During the Test

  1. The MRI technician communicates with the patient to ease the patient and only begin once the patient is ready.
  2.  The technician might also use some pillows or the straps that could make your knee even more comfortable during the test procedure
  3.  This would also aid in keeping the leg still so that the MRI machine could take clearest image of your knee. The technician would then slide you into this machine with your feet first.
  4. During the process of scanning, it is fundamental to stay still. Any slight movement can disrupt the desired images.

Note: Loud clanging noises coming from the scanner are normal. Also, it is advised to terminate the scan if patient feels uncomfortable during the MRI scanning procedure.

After the test

  1. After the scanning is complete, the respective radiologist would examine the images to understand whether any more of them are required ahead. Once the radiologist is satisfied, the patient could go back home.
  2. Also, patients are required to take appointments with their respective doctors to discuss the results for future treatment planning.

FAQ

An MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan is an imaging test used in a whole-body screening. It is a non-invasive, painless test that is carried out inside an advanced MRI scanner. The scanner is a doughnut-shaped device with an interior table that moves slowly. 

Note: MRI does NOT use any radiation unlike the x-rays or the CT scans.

For the MRI of the knee- it helps to determine whether you would be needing surgery after assessing your area around the knee joints- ligaments, cartilage, muscle etc.

The MRI scan is known to be a painless procedure. However, due to length of a few of the examinations, some patients might be uncomfortable to remain still until the scan is complete.

Ganesh Diagnostic and Imagining Center offers a scanner that is quite big, and faster than usual machines. It is also more detailed oriented than any other traditional open MRI machine. 

As this is only half body scan, you would not feel claustrophobic during this exam.

Note: In case you take medication for claustrophobia, bring either a driver or family member along with you to get back home safely.

At the hospital, just before the test is done, the patient is asked to change into the gown. Moreover, wallet, or purse, or keys, and phone with other electronic devices CANNOT enter the scanning room with you.

The research says that around 43% of the Knee MRIs are arguably not so useful in nature.

The MRI of the knee without the contrast noted or the changes in the medial meniscus are difficult to determine even by the radiologist (i.e. if it is recurrent meniscus tear or post-surgical changes).

The Simultaneous imaging of both the knees are seen to further improve the value of the MRI knee evaluations; which provides an internal control for the clinical evaluation of pathology as well as help in reducing the costs and improve the continuity in research studies ahead.

It is seen that most issues get better on its own without any medical intervention, and then one should wait for more than 3 weeks for getting a MRI scan done post-injury.

 If the knee pain does not get better on its own even after three weeks of injury, then you must consult a doctor.

It should be noted that only the lower body would enter the MRI machine for the knee exam. 

The upper body would remain outside the MRI machine, as the technologist would not need those images. You are expected to stay as still as possible, so as to allow the machine to take clearest pictures of the designated area.

Many studies suggest that there are no evident harmful effects from the MRI during pregnancy stage. That being said, our cautious approach would be that the MRI is only being carried out during first trimester, only in a clear and urgent indication. If it is less urgent, it should be deferred until later in her pregnancy life or say even until after the delivery. For this, you must consult with your respective doctor on a case-by-case basis to evaluate your reason and whether you should get a MRI scan or not.

For safety reasons as stated above, only patient is allowed to enter the exam room. It is request to not bring small children or any other family member with you during the scheduled examination. 

No Radiation Present. It is important to understand that the MRI does not use any radiation to generate the images, for example: x-ray or CT scanners
