A magnetic resonance imaging scan of a single joint that shows cartilage, ligaments, tendons, the joint capsule and bone in fine detail without ionising radiation — the imaging of choice for many sports and orthopaedic injuries. ST Medical scans the knee, shoulder, hip, elbow, wrist, ankle, hand or foot, with MR arthrography and contrast options for more complex questions. With several orthopaedic surgeons on site, imaging can feed directly into a treatment plan.
