A member asked:

Technician read mri and said my daughter has a torn acl and a crack in her femur but she does not have any pain and can walk, run, shoot a soccer ball, ride a bike etc without any pain or problems. how is that possible?

Technicians are only supposed to do the procedure and are not qualified o diagnose conditions. Pl ask the doc ordering the test to explain the findings. Good luck

Attention to communication detail will be needed in further communication with the Ortho and/or primary care team. Such a study is usually run to rule in or out conditions as mentioned by you and a potential diagnosis has to be formulated prior to the test for billing purposes. The actual result is usually placed in context at the follow up visit.
