What is a MRI RIGHT KNEE?
An MRI of your knee is a way to receive a detailed look inside without surgery. It uses magnets and radio waves to create pictures of everything in your knee – the bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and other soft tissues. Doctors use it to figure out what's going on if you have pain, swelling, or your knee feels unstable. It can help them spot things like tears, damage to the cartilage, fractures, arthritis, or inflammation. This helps them decide the best way to treat you, whether it's surgery or physical therapy.
