Need for MRI diagnostic testing
In a podiatric setting, MRIs are often used as a non-invasive tool to better examine the internal workings of feet and ankles. Your doctor may use magnetic resonance imaging to diagnose:
Overview of MRIs
Instead of using radiation like X-rays, MRI exams utilize a combination of a magnetic field and radio waves to produce images of the soft tissue and bones in your feet and ankles.
During an MRI scan, your foot (or whichever body part is being examined) is placed inside an MRI machine, which has a strong magnet. Similar to an X-ray, you should not experience any unusual sensations during the scan. After the scan, your doctor will be able to review the images and discuss any findings with you.
MRI Restrictions
Because MRI scans use a magnetic field to create images, there are some limitations to who can undergo these scans. You may not be a good candidate for an MRI if you have any of the following conditions:
Although some of the above conditions may not hinder you from having an MRI scan, be sure your doctor is aware of the condition before undergoing the scan.
