MRI Knee Scan procedure
The knee MRI scan requires you to lie flat on your back on a retractable table that goes into the scanner.
For a successful MRI knee scan, you need to lie still. If you feel any discomfort, you can speak to the radiologist via the scanner-embedded intercom.
Due to being non-invasive and the absence of radiation, the MRI knee scan is touted as the safest medical diagnostics procedure for knee or joint disorders.
To get better imaging of harder to reach areas of the knee and its surrounding areas, a contrast dye or contrast material can be administered orally or intravenously before the scan.
You’d need to rest and restrict movement after taking the dye, as it will take about 30 minutes for the dye to absorb in the system.
Post-scanning, the radiologist will examine the captured images and create the report for your doctor. However, if he/she determines the need for additional images, you might be asked to take the test again.
