MR arthrography is an examination that provides a very detailed image of joint structures such as cartilage damage, ligaments, and the labrum. At Capio Private Hospital, we perform MR arthrography on the shoulder and hip, among other areas, where contrast fluid is injected directly into a joint before the actual scan.

MR arthrography is used when there is suspicion of damage inside the joint that cannot always be seen on a regular MRI scan.
Among other things, the study shows that:
In order to offer you MR arthrography, you must be referred by your own doctor or a specialist.
The advantage of MR arthrography is that the contrast fluid is injected directly into the joint, which makes even minor injuries and changes more visible in the images. The examination provides more detailed images than a regular MRI scan of the joint and can reveal minor tears and lesions that would otherwise be difficult to detect. This provides a more accurate basis for planning the right treatment. MR arthrography is a gentle and targeted examination, and the MRI scan itself is painless. However, you may experience slight pressure or tension in the joint after the contrast injection.
