Procedure for an MRI of the knee

The process of getting an MRI for the knee is as follows: 1. The doctor will first check the patient’s relevant information again. For example, to check the patient’s personal information, and then check whether the type of patient has any contraindications related to doing the examination. For example, it is necessary to see whether the patient has claustrophobia, whether he can tolerate the noisy environment, and whether he can keep his knee fixed for a long time. In addition to this, it is also necessary to see whether the patient’s body has iron internal fixation. If all the above checks are OK, then the patient can do this kind of examination. 2. Before the preparation begins, the doctor will ask the patient to leave all the iron objects on the body outside the door, and the patient will put on the shoe cover and follow the doctor to arrive in the examination room. The patient needs to lie flat on the examination bed, after which the doctor will use earplugs to block both of the patient’s ears, and then use a specific examination device to cover the knee joint that needs to be examined, at which time the doctor will need to leave the examination room and begin the examination. The examination takes about 20 minutes. 3. After the examination, the doctor will assist the patient to get out of bed and leave the examination room. The patient will wait for the results of the examination in his ward or outpatient clinic.
