MRI Ankle Joint

Do you suffer from pain in the inner or outer ankle, heel or back foot? Is the mobility of your ankle joint restricted? Swelling and stabbing pain in the back foot are often the consequences of an injury or wear and tear of the upper or lower ankle joint and the surrounding ligaments and tendons. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at ARISTRA can precisely map the causes of this.

Das Sprunggelenk ist das am stärksten belastete Gelenk unseres Körpers. Es trägt das vier- bis fünffache unseres Körpergewichts. Bei zu starken Belastungen oder beim Umknicken des Fußes werden häufig Bänder und Gelenkanteile verletzt. Schmerzen im Rückfuß können aber auch viele andere Ursachen haben. Daher ist die Abklärung der Ursache mittels MRT oft entscheidend, um die richtige Diagnose zu stellen.
Das Sprunggelenk-MRT bei ARISTRA hilft Ihnen, die genaue Ursache für Ihre Beschwerden zu finden und seltene schwerwiegende Erkrankungen (z. B. Infektionen, Rheuma oder Tumore) auszuschließen

Die MRT wird zur Beurteilung des oberen und unteren Sprunggelenkes und der umgebenden Weichteile (Muskulatur, Sehnen, Bänder Nerven, Schleimbeutel) verwendet. Die MRT-Untersuchung erfolgt in der Regel in Rückenlage und dauert ungefähr 20 Minuten.

Die MRT-Untersuchungen des Sprunggelenkes bei ARISTRA werden in Zusammenarbeit mit international anerkannten Expert:innen für die muskuloskelettale (MSK) Bildgebung fortlaufend weiterentwickelt. So können die Aufnahmen vor Ort mit modernster Aufnahmetechnik und nach neuestem Stand der Wissenschaft angefertigt werden. Die Auswertung Ihrer Aufnahmen wird durch unsere muskuloskelettalen Spezialist:innen durchgeführt.
