FAQs

Can MRI Cartilage Imaging detect cartilage damage?

Yes. MRI can identify cartilage thinning, fissures, defects, irregularities, and areas of cartilage loss.

Can this examination be used for sports injuries?

Yes. It can be useful for evaluating cartilage injuries associated with sports, repetitive stress, or trauma and may be combined with assessment of other joint structures.

Can MRI Cartilage Imaging monitor cartilage over time?

Yes. In selected patients, repeat examinations may help monitor progression of cartilage damage or changes following treatment or rehabilitation.

Is MRI Cartilage Imaging different from a routine MRI of the joint?

The examination may use specialized high-resolution or quantitative cartilage sequences that provide more detailed information about cartilage structure and, in some protocols, its composition.

Do I need any preparation before the examination?

Usually, no special preparation is required for a non-contrast examination. Inform the MRI team about metallic implants, pacemakers, previous surgeries, pregnancy or possible pregnancy, and other implanted medical devices.

Will I need additional tests after MRI Cartilage Imaging?

Depending on the findings, your doctor may recommend X-ray, CT, conventional MRI, physical assessment, laboratory tests, or consultation with an orthopedic or sports-medicine specialist.
