Why An MRI is an essential diagnostic tool
for accurately assessing a meniscus tear.
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.
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.
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.
