MRI of Joints and Soft Tissues
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of joints and soft tissues is an advanced diagnostic method that provides detailed images of the knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, and other joints, as well as surrounding soft tissues.
The examination allows clear visualization of ligaments, tendons, cartilage, menisci, synovial membranes, and muscles. Joint MRI is widely used to detect ligament tears, meniscus injuries, tendon damage, arthritis, inflammatory conditions, degenerative changes, and tumors.
This imaging technique offers high diagnostic accuracy without ionizing radiation, enabling physicians to assess tissue damage precisely and develop an effective treatment plan.

Indications for Joint and Soft Tissue MRI
MRI may be recommended in the following cases:
- Joint pain — possible ligament tears, meniscus injuries, arthritis or inflammation.
- Limited mobility — may indicate cartilage, tendon or ligament damage.
- Swelling — sign of synovitis or intra-articular injury.
- Tenderness — requires detailed tissue visualization.
- Trauma — sprains and tears need accurate assessment.
- Degenerative diseases — evaluation of osteoarthritis and joint degeneration.
When Contrast MRI Is Recommended
- To assess inflammatory processes.
- To evaluate tumors.
- To analyze ligament and tendon tears.
- To study vascular supply.
- To confirm a diagnosis.
Contraindications
- cardiac pacemakers;
- metallic implants;
- neurostimulators;
- vascular clips;
- metal-containing devices.
