A member asked:

Is mri used for rheumatic diseases?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: It is used for many different reasons in rheumatic disease. It does not replace or change the value of plain X-rays and other types of tests. The key is always using the correct test to get the answers needed. Your doctor will be the best one to make this choice.
