Common Questions and Answers about Mri scan knee images

Yes, an MRI can produce images radio waves and unlike conventional x-ray examinations and computed tomography (CT) scans, MRI does not depend on ionizing radiation. It seems, generally, the differentiation of abnormal tissue from normal tissue is often better with MRI then x-ray, CT and echo.
But the state-of-art CT scan, slice 64 and higher has reduced radiation.
Hope this helps.
Tell them your history and insist on another MRI with contrast and a CT scan. Second, third, fourth opinions, whatever, is always a good option. If you are not satisfied with the answer you are given, find another doctor until you find one that listens to you and cares about what you are going through. It could be something small that they are missing. Ask for the best radiologist to read your MRI and CT scan and ask them to spend more than 5 minutes reading all 36 images of the MRI.
I have had both an X-Ray and MRI of it, they said it was Normal, but the pain is getting worse and the swelling also, you can hardly tell where my knee cap is anymore. I recently got copies of the MRI and x-ray on a dvd and on one of the images of the MRI it shows what looks like a rip on one side and like black watery image on the other. I have looked at Images of other MRI's of knees and cant find any that look the same.
I need a MRI of my knee. I don't think mineral make-up is a problem do you?
Hi all. I recently had a back mri scan with the use of contrast dye as I had a discectomy November 2018 . I paid for the scan image on cd but haven’t had the results yet. Obviously I’m not medically trained so have no idea what the images look like however I wondered if anyone know what the few blobs are on a image that are next to the spine? As they came back as a white glow.
I had x-rays done about 6 months ago and the knee joint is solid. I have an MRI scheduled for tomorrow to more or less confirm the doctor's claims that the pain and subsequent swelling is derived from lacking of the meniscal cushion and only having articular cartilage on the outer portion of my knee which is resulting in bone bruising. He also recommended a bone scan, but decided we would just start with the MRI.
hi had mri 29th dec noticed radiologist point and show other radiologist then came in asked who ordered scan my doc or a neuroilogist seemed strange havent got results yet but only been wk
with note of mild myxoid degeneration in the posterior medial meniscal horn.
Can someone help me understand??
I wonder if I should be asking for another CT scan again so that it can be compared if I get the MRI can we believe that one if it says I am fine?
The guy wants to do a MUGA. I've had four last one in 1999 EF 74% all heart function improved. All my EF's from the echo's are coming back between 55 and 65%. Why the MUGA?
I should make another appointment with him and discuss this or send a letter. Why the MUGA?
I had an MRI done of my knee and my doctor is on vacation for 3 weeks. Can anyone tell me how bad this is? I am assuming surgery?

Just to clarify, my question was - Are T1 or T2 weighted images/sequences/scans necessary to see lesions? On my MRI report it says that the T1/T2 sequence was used on my cervical spine but it doesn't specifically say that on the protocol for my brain. That was my confusion but, according to shell, it looks like the protocol was good even though it doesn't specifically say T1 or T2 was used on the brain scan.
Volume of the t-1-hypointense lesions in the juxtacortical, periventricular, infratentorial and deep white brain regions from the patients scan. Lesions appearing hypointesnse in T1 an hyperintense in T2 Flair MR images. Brain Structure Volumes: The pink color in the normative percentile column indicates a brain tissue volume about the 95th percentile or a ventricle volume below the 5th percentile, these values are outside the normal range, but not necessarily of diagnosic concern.
