No, the MRI procedure itself is painless. However, you need to remain still for the duration of the scan to ensure clear images.

MRI is used to diagnose soft tissue injuries (like ligament tears, meniscus damage), bone fractures, cartilage degeneration, inflammation, and other knee joint conditions that X-rays cannot detect.

MRI is generally safe and does not involve radiation. However, it is not suitable for individuals with certain implants (like pacemakers) or metal in their body due to the strong magnetic field.

No special preparation is typically needed. However, patients should remove all metal objects and wear comfortable clothing without zippers or buttons.
