A member asked:
Do you think i should get an mri on my knee and ankle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If recommended by Dr: Mri of the knee and ankle can best assess soft tissue structures like ligaments, tendons, and cartilage. If you have pain in the areas and the MRI was recommended by your physician, then you should go ahead with the exam.
