MRI Right Knee Scan with Cartigram

MRI Right Knee Scan with Cartigram

5000+ scans done & counting

An MRI of the Right Knee with Cartigram, also known as dGEMRIC (Delayed Gadolinium-Enhanced MRI of Cartilage), is a special type of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) that gives a detailed view of the structures within the right knee, especially the cartilage. This technique uses a contrast agent, gadolinium, to highlight the cartilage and other tissues, enabling radiologists to evaluate the health and integrity of the knee joint more accurately.

Cartilage does not show up very well on standard MRI scans, and its deterioration is a significant aspect of many knee conditions such as osteoarthritis. MRI with Cartigram allows doctors to detect early cartilage damage and initiate appropriate treatment plans, often before symptoms become noticeable.
