Knee imaging (MRI, X-ray)

Knee imaging includes X-rays and MRIs to assess knee issues. X-rays use low-dose radiation to produce images of bones, revealing fractures, alignment issues, or arthritis. MRIs use strong magnets and radio waves to create detailed pictures of both bones and soft tissues like cartilage, ligaments, and tendons. They help diagnose injuries such as torn ligaments or meniscus tears, and detect inflammation or degeneration. Together, these imaging methods provide comprehensive insights into knee condition, guiding appropriate treatment decisions.
