    • Upload them to an online folder such as Dropbox or Google Drive

    Why An MRI is an essential diagnostic tool

     for accurately assessing a meniscus tear.

    MRIs AND MENISCUS TEARS

    An MRI can provide detailed images of soft tissues, including the meniscus, to show the extent and 

    location of the tear. Accurate assessment of a meniscus tear is crucial for determining the appropriate treatment 

    plan and achieving optimal outcomes.

    MRI vs. X-RAYS

    X-rays can only provide images of bone. An MRI can provide detailed images of the 

    meniscus and other soft tissues, making it the preferred diagnostic method for detecting meniscus tears.

    HOW CAN I GET AN MRI?

    It’s possible that Dr. Saliman can send you for an MRI, but to save time 

    you may want to get one ahead of time. To do that, you can visit your 

    primary care physician.
