Understanding MRI Left Ankle Joint in Bangalore

What is MRI Left Ankle Joint in Bangalore?

An MRI Left Ankle Joint shows the bones of the joint and the tendons, ligaments, muscles, and blood vessels surrounding them. An MRI test involves a magnetic field and radio waves to produce a series of finely detailed and crystal-clear images.

The ultrasound imaging is unable to assess cartilage and joint injuries and also numerous fractures. Therefore, an MRI scan is frequently used to determine an ankle injury fully. Patients with pacemakers, intracranial aneurysm clips, or Cochlear implants cannot have an MRI because of the intense magnet used. An MRI Left Ankle Joint identifies any broken or fractured ankle bones and any soft tissue injuries, including ligaments, tendons, or muscles around the joint.
