Overview

A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study of the right wrist is an advanced way to see the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, nerves, and soft tissues associated with the wrist. MRI uses a combination of magnets and radio waves to create a highly detailed image of the wrist as opposed to X-ray, CT scan, and the like, which use potentially damaging ionizing radiation. The wrist has more parts than any other joint in the body due to the number of small bones, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and nerves that compose the wrist and support wrist movement. MRIs allow physicians to detect problems at an early stage of the disease process. The cost of an MRI of the right wrist is between INR. 4,000 to INR. 9,000.

What is an MRI Right Wrist Scan?

MRI of the Right Wrist involves producing high quality visual images without any form of invasion to the body (or person).
