MRI of soft tissues is a highly accurate diagnostic method that allows detailed visualization of muscles, ligaments, tendons, subcutaneous tissue, lymph nodes and vascular structures. The method is used to detect inflammatory, degenerative and tumor processes without X-ray radiation.
When is soft tissue MRI required?
In case of injuries, inflammations, muscle pains, compactions in soft tissues. In cases of suspected tumors, lipomas, sarcomas, metastases. For diagnostics of ligament and tendon ruptures, hematomas, injuries after injuries. In case of inflammatory diseases (myositis, tendinitis, abscesses). In oncology – for monitoring the condition of soft tissues after treatment.
How does the research proceed?
The patient is placed in a magnetic resonance imaging machine, where the soft tissue area is scanned. In some cases, a contrast agent is used to more accurately identify inflammation and tumor formations. The procedure lasts 20-40 minutes, is painless, and does not require radiation exposure.
Key Benefits of Soft Tissue MRI
High detailing of muscles, tendons, vessels, adipose tissue. Safety – no X-ray exposure. Possibility of detecting inflammatory and oncological processes at early stages.
Why is it worth undergoing MRI of soft tissues in Belarus?
Belarusian medical centers are equipped with modern MRI machines, providing detailed diagnostics of soft tissue structures. Experienced specialists conduct examinations with precise interpretation of results.
