MRI

Magnetic resonance imaging is a sophisticated diagnostic procedure to diagnose the following kinds of problems or conditions:

Arthritis.
Fractures.
Infection.
Injuries of the tendons, ligaments, or cartilage.
Tumors.

MRIs use no radiation like conventional X-rays or CT scans. They employ a large magnet and radio waves to produce a kind of three-dimensional image. MRIs are very good at portraying soft tissues and bones in your feet and ankles.

People with the following conditions may not be good candidates for a MRI:

A condition that requires a heart pacemaker.
Electronic inner ear implants.
Electronic stimulators.
Implanted pumps.
Metal fragments in your eyes.
Some artificial heart valves.
Surgical clips in your head (particularly aneurysm clips).

If you have a dental filling or bridge, a replacement hip or knee, or tubal ligation clips, you are usually safe to have a MRI.

In most cases, a full exam of the foot and ankle last between one hour to 90 minutes.
