MRI STERNO CLAVICULAR JOINT

Description

MRI STERNO CLAVICULAR JOINT is a specialized imaging study that focuses on the joint where the collarbone (clavicle) meets the breastbone (sternum). This non-invasive procedure uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create detailed cross-sectional images of the joint and surrounding tissues. It’s particularly useful for evaluating conditions that affect this often-overlooked joint, such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, septic arthritis, and traumatic injuries. The high-resolution images allow radiologists to assess both bony structures and soft tissues, including cartilage, ligaments, and nearby blood vessels. This detailed view helps in accurate diagnosis and guides treatment decisions for disorders of the sternoclavicular joint.
