What is a Knee MRI Scan?
A Knee MRI is the definitive non-invasive diagnostic procedure for detecting injuries to the soft tissues of the knee joint. It visualizes the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL), Collateral Ligaments (MCL/LCL), medial and lateral menisci, articular cartilage, and joint effusion without requiring surgical arthroscopy.
Who Needs a Knee MRI Scan? (Common Clinical Indications)
Your physician or consulting specialist may recommend this scan if you experience any of the following symptoms or conditions:
- Sports injury, sudden twisting trauma, or a 'pop' sensation in the knee
- Suspected ACL or PCL ligament tear causing knee instability or buckling
- Meniscus tear causing knee locking, clicking, or inability to fully straighten the leg
- Chronic knee pain, swelling, or unexplained fluid buildup (joint effusion)
- Evaluation of osteoarthritic cartilage wear and bone marrow edema
- Assessment of unexplained lumps, cysts (Baker's cyst), or post-operative knee checks
How to Prepare for Your Knee MRI Scan
Preparing for your examination is straightforward. Follow these clinical guidelines for an optimal, hassle-free scan:
- No fasting is required. You can eat and drink normally before your knee scan.
- Wear loose clothing that allows easy rolling up above the knee, or use our clean sanitized clinic gown.
- Because only your leg enters the center of the scanner magnet, knee scans are extremely easy and comfortable even for patients with mild claustrophobia.
- A dedicated Knee RF Coil is gently wrapped around your knee to guarantee high signal-to-noise ratio and pinpoint resolution.
How Long Does the Scan Take?
The scan takes approximately 15 to 20 Minutes. You will lie comfortably on a cushioned scanning bed. Our technologist will provide earplugs or earphones with ambient music to ensure your comfort throughout the session.
