MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. MRI scans are most often used in diagnostic testing to determine the presence or severity of an injury, disease, or other problems. MRIs use magnets and radio waves to capture images of the soft tissue inside your body, which they then send to a computer.
Doctors can look over those images to diagnose a number of things and to understand what is happening with your muscles, tendons, ligament, cartilage, and spinal discs, as well as your blood vessels, heart, brain, spinal cord, and more. Unlike X-Rays and CT scans, MRIs do not use radiation. They can be done anywhere on your body, and they can be done in both open and closed environments to make all patients as comfortable as possible during the scans.
MRI Scans are an incredible tool that doctors at AICA Orthopedics are proud and thankful to have. They can help diagnose a number of diseases and injuries, and they can help us see how well you’re doing with a particular treatment. We can monitor your healing and check the status of an injury or disease within your soft tissue. MRIs can help detect so many things:
And so much more
Often times, it’s recommended to get an MRI after a car accident. Many times injuries go undetected for a while. Maybe you didn’t have any pain initially, or maybe you thought your pain was taken care of after the first few weeks.
Maybe you had a major injury that required a long recovery, and you assumed that was the only injury you sustained. It’s not uncommon for things like whiplash and acute inflammation to go unnoticed. It’s not until they start causing other problems down the road that people wonder what’s wrong with them. An MRI can detect these things, as well as general swelling and minor soft tissue damage, which can help improve your treatment, healing, and recovery process.
Whether you’ve just sustained a personal injury or an automobile accident or it has been years since you’ve had one, our technologists and radiologists can perform an MRI at our Atlanta MRI imaging center to ensure you don’t have hidden injuries.
