Understanding MRI Right Arm
What is MRI Right Arm?
A Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan is a painless scanning method used to detect any abnormalities in the body, such as an injury or other major disorders. The right arm's MRI is mostly used to study precise images of biological soft tissues and, in certain situations, fractures. A contrasting dye may be injected to improve body imaging.
In this test, only the patient's right arm is placed on a table in the tunnel of the MRI scanner, which uses non-harmful radiations rather than X-rays, which are supposed to be safer for the body. Although it is a time-consuming procedure, it is considered a safe, non-invasive alternative to conventional imaging techniques for people of all ages, including pregnant women.
What is MRI Right Arm used for?
- To diagnose upper limb spasticity (due to nervous breakdown affecting movement of upper arm movement)
- To detect rotator cuff disorder (swelling of the tissues which connects your bones in the shoulder)
- To find out capsulitis (frozen shoulder) and carpal tunnel syndrome (loss of sensation in the arm and hand due to pinched wrist nerve)
- To evaluate tenosynovitis (swelling of area where bone connects with the muscles) of the upper limb) and arthritis of hand joints
- To trace presence of any abnormal tissue growth / cyst / tumor / cancer in the arm, forearm, shoulder and hand
