MRI of the knee joint without contrast

The knee joint is the largest and second most stressed joint in the human body. Because of its function and complex structure, it is not difficult to injure it. MRI of the knee joint makes it possible to assess the condition of the ligamentous apparatus, tendons and scapulae, as well as to determine the presence of fluid in the joint cavity.

Indications for the examination:

• complaints of pain,
• swellings,
• tumors,
• degenerative diseases,
• torsional and strain injuries.

Contraindications to the study: 

• implanted electrical devices (defibrillator, pacemaker, neurostimulator, etc.),
• metal bodies in soft tissues or metal fragments in the vicinity of vessels, parenchymal organs, eyeballs. 

The test is not recommended for women in the first trimester of pregnancy. Claustrophobia may also be a contraindication to the test.

You should appear for the examination about 30 minutes before its scheduled time for registration and completion of medical records. It is advisable to bring your medical records for the area being examined. Any kidney disease, history of allergies or sensitization reactions to drugs and contrast agents, or tendency to bleeding after their use should be reported before the examination. Patients who are pregnant should inform the staff of this fact. 

You should enter the examination in comfortable clothing without metal parts. Before entering the room where the examination will be performed, put away the wallet with payment cards and phone, remove jewelry, trouser belt, etc. For the head and orbital examination, no makeup or hairspray is allowed - cosmetics may contain metal particles that falsify the results.
