Likewise, is an arthrogram painful?
While the arthrography procedure itself causes no pain, having to move or hold the joint still in certain positions might cause some discomfort or pain, particularly if you’ve recently had surgery or a joint injury.
Additionally, can I drive home after an arthrogram? and Emergency department or GP immediately or contact NHS 24 and explain that you have had an MRI arthrogram. You should not drive home after the procedure and must make other travel arrangements (e.g. ask a relative or friend to accompany you who can drive you home).
Similarly, you may ask, how is an arthrogram performed?
An arthrogram is an X-ray image or picture of the inside of a joint (e.g. shoulder, knee, wrist, ankle) after a contrast medium (sometimes referred to as a contrast agent or “dye”) is injected into the joint. Once the injection is finished, images of the joint are taken using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or CT.
What is the difference between an MRI and an arthrogram?
Key Differences: MRI provides a detailed look at most body structures including soft tissues. MRIs can be ordered with contrast that is delivered intravenously, while an Arthrogram has contrast needle-guided directly into the injured joint.
