Knee MRI at AV Scan Diagnostics, Dadar West

AV Scan offers advanced knee MRI using the Fujifilm Echelon Smart MRI. All knee MRI studies are personally reported by Dr. Avinash Bansal — MD (Radiology), FIFM, FMF (UK) certified, with specialist fellowship training in musculoskeletal (MSK) imaging. This specialist expertise is critical for accurate assessment of complex knee pathology.

Knee MRI is the most accurate non-invasive test for assessing ligament tears, meniscal injuries and cartilage damage — far superior to X-ray or clinical examination alone. It guides surgeons on whether conservative management or operative intervention is needed.

What Does Knee MRI Diagnose?

  • ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) — complete or partial tears, chronic laxity
  • PCL (Posterior Cruciate Ligament) — tears and contusions
  • MCL/LCL — medial and lateral collateral ligament injuries
  • Meniscal tears — medial and lateral, horizontal, radial, bucket-handle tears
  • Cartilage damage — chondromalacia patella, osteochondral defects
  • Bone marrow oedema — bone bruising after injury
  • Osteoarthritis — cartilage thinning, joint space loss, meniscal degeneration
  • Baker's cyst and other soft tissue masses
  • Iliotibial band syndrome
  • Post-operative assessment after ACL reconstruction or meniscectomy

When Should You Get a Knee MRI?

  • Acute knee injury with swelling, locking or giving way
  • Chronic knee pain not responding to physiotherapy
  • Suspected ACL or meniscus tear following sports injury
  • Before knee arthroscopy — to plan surgery precisely
  • Unexplained knee pain in athletes
  • Assessment of osteoarthritis severity before joint replacement planning

How to Prepare

  • Wear loose, comfortable clothing — you may be asked to change into a gown
  • Remove all metal objects, jewellery and piercings near the knee
  • Inform us of any metal implants, previous knee surgery or hardware
  • No fasting required for non-contrast knee MRI
  • Scan duration: approximately 30–40 minutes
