Elbow MRI Imaging: Ideal Solution for Comprehensive Diagnosis and Treatment Planning
In case of elbow pain, limited movement, or suspected injury, accurate diagnosis is critical for an effective treatment plan. Elbow MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) allows detailed examination of the elbow joint and surrounding tissues, helping to make accurate and rapid diagnoses. As a medical imaging center, we offer reliable results in the diagnosis of your elbow problems with our state-of-the-art MRI devices and expert radiology team.
Advantages of Elbow MRI
- High-Resolution Images: MRI imaging allows us to obtain detailed images of soft tissues such as bone, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and muscles. In this way, even the smallest damages within the elbow joint can be detected.
- Radiation-Free: MRI is a radiation-free imaging method. Therefore, it is safe for patients of all ages, including pregnant women and children.
- Painless and Comfortable: MRI scans are generally painless. Patient comfort is prioritized during the scan, and sedation can be applied if necessary.
- Accurate Diagnosis and Treatment Planning: Thanks to the detailed images obtained, the source of elbow problems can be accurately determined, and a personalized treatment plan can be created.
When is Elbow MRI Necessary?
Elbow MRI is a frequently used method in the following cases:
- Elbow pain (unexplained or post-traumatic)
- Limited elbow movement
- Swelling or tenderness in the elbow joint
- Suspected injury to elbow ligaments or tendons (e.g., tennis elbow, golfer's elbow)
- Suspected cartilage damage or osteoarthritis
- Suspected tumor or infection in the elbow joint
- In cases where sufficient information cannot be obtained with CT scan
- Preoperative planning and postoperative evaluation
How Does the MRI Imaging Process Work?
- Appointment: You need to make an appointment for an elbow MRI at our medical imaging center. When making an appointment, it is important to have the referral form given to you by your doctor and your previous imaging results, if any.
- Preparation: Before the scan, you need to remove metal objects (jewelry, watch, belt, etc.) on you. In some cases, contrast agent injection may be required. If you have a contrast agent allergy, be sure to inform the radiology technician before the scan.
- Shooting: During the scan, you will need to lie down inside the MRI machine. The shooting time usually varies between 15-30 minutes. It is important to remain still during the shooting for image quality.
- Results: After the scan is completed, the images are examined and a report is prepared by the radiology specialist. Your report is usually sent to your doctor within a few days.
