Snellville MRI Scans

An MRI or Magnetic Resonance Imaging is, by today’s standards, is the number one diagnostic tool to determine and diagnose soft tissue injuries. One of the most advanced medical imaging technologies available, an MRI has the ability to scan any body part that may have been injured and give a full three-dimensional view of all soft tissue structures, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage and spinal discs.

MRI Scans Pick Up Details Other Imaging Devices May Miss

Too often, injuries are missed when patients only receive X-rays, as they look at a two-dimensional view of the bones only. An MRI looks at the entire area, giving your doctor a view of the surrounding tissue that may have been recently injured so no problem is missed.

In addition to getting a complete picture of all surrounding structures that might have been injured and the bones, we can pinpoint any type of acute inflammation, swelling or edema around an injured area. In other words, we can tell you exactly what injuries recently occurred to help you begin to heal. The combination of X-rays first to rule out any type of fractures or dislocations followed by an appropriate MRI scan will ensure that no injuries are missed.
