MRI of sacroiliac joints without contrast

What is Wrist MRI without Contrast

Wrist MRI without contrast is a safe and non-invasive diagnostic test that allows detailed imaging of the wrist's tissue structure. During the examination, a magnetic field and radio waves are used to obtain clear images that help diagnose injuries, inflammatory conditions, or degenerative changes in this part of the body.

For Whom

Wrist MRI without contrast is recommended for people experiencing pain, swelling, or limited mobility in the wrist. It can also be used to diagnose sports injuries, arthritis, degenerative changes, and other problems related to this area. The test is also indicated in cases where it is difficult to make a diagnosis based on other imaging methods.

How to Prepare for the Examination

• It is advisable to bring any previous test results, such as X-rays, CT scans, or other examinations that may be helpful in diagnosing.
• Before the examination, remove jewelry and any metal objects, and avoid wearing clothing with metal elements.
• If the patient has implants - limb/joint endoprostheses, hearing implants, vascular ports, or any other foreign bodies resulting from medical procedures, the patient MUST provide a certificate confirming there are no contraindications for the MRI examination. This certificate must be issued by the healthcare provider where the implant was performed and/or the manufacturer of the implant/device. If such a certificate is not available, the technician has the right to refuse to perform the examination.
• A referral is not required for the examination.
