Knee MRI scan- Protocol, Positioning and Planning| Usmanpura Imaging Centre

In our previous video, we have shared the basic information about MRI machine and its usages.
Today we will show you how we perform MRI for the knee.
We provide headphones to the patient to avoid noise discomfort. We also hand over a Buzzer to the patient so he/she can press it to express any discomfort during the scan, and we can reach out, though our technician or attendant is there throughout the procedure. Even inside the magnetic tunnel we constantly maintain contact with the patient. We monitor the patient from the console room through the glass.
Dedicated knee images can take up to 20-25 minutes. During the MRI, the patient has to stay stable and cannot move the leg otherwise the acquisition time shall be prolonged.
Who cannot do MRI?
Patients with pacemakers, hearing aids / cochlear implants, neuro or bio transmitters, Insulin pump implants need to consult their doctors and as well as radiologists to understand the limitations and precautions. How to plan the test? We strongly recommend a prior appointment as an MRI scan takes time.
Preparation for MRI:
• Patients must take off all the metal accessories and pieces of jewelry.
• Wear loose clothes
• No fasting is needed except for Abdomen MRI
