What is MRI Right Wrist Joint?
The magnetic resonance imaging of the right wrist joint is advised by physicians to examine and visualize the wrist’s anatomy and diagnose any problem associated with the adjoining structures of the wrist, including the bones, tendons, and ligaments, muscles, and blood vessels.
MRI uses a magnetic field and radio waves that create a detailed, clear image of the wrist joints, making it easier for the physician to diagnose any abnormality if present any like fractures, injuries of the soft tissues like the ligaments, tendons, or muscles. It is used to diagnose signs associated with diseases like osteoporosis, arthritis, or any other bony deformities. Visit the 1mg website for more information on this test.

Frequently Asked Questions about MRI Right Wrist Joint
Q. What are the drawbacks of a bone X-ray?
X-ray images give a very clear view of the bones. However, it does not provide a good visual image of the soft tissues like tendons, muscles or fat tissue under the skin. Even the bone microfractures or complicated spine injuries are not clearly visible on the X Ray images. Apart from this, it also exposes the patient to some amount of radiations but the benefit of the information gained from an X-ray image outweighs the risk of radiations.
Q. Who interprets the X-ray results?
The interpretation of an X-Ray image is carried out by a radiologist who analyses or reads the X-ray image and prepares a report of the findings which is shared with the patient.
