THEI-IRM isivivinyo sokuxilonga esisebenzisa indawo kazibuthe namaza omsakazo ukuze kukhiqizwe izithombe ezinembe kakhulu ze-2D noma ze-3D zezingxenye zomzimba noma izitho zangaphakathi.

Ku-rheumatology, okukhethekile kwezokwelapha okukhathazayoidivayisi ye-locomotor (izifo zamathambo, amalunga nemisipha), ithola indawo yokuzikhethela. Sekuze kwaba kubalulekile ekuxilongeni okuningi kwe-rheumatological, okwenza kube nokwenzeka ukuthola izithombe ezinembe kakhulu kunalokho okungenzeka ku-x-ray. Ngakho-ke i-MRI inikeza izithombe ze os, imisipha, imisipha, ligaments et uqwanga.

Kungani wenze i-MRI ku-rheumatology?

Udokotela angase ahlele i-MRI ukuze ahlole izifo emathanjeni, emisipha nasemalungeni. Ngakho ukuhlolwa kwenzelwa:

• Qonda umsuka wobuhlungu obuqhubekayo ezinqulwini, emahlombe, emadolweni, emaqakaleni, emuva, njll.
• ukuqonda ukushuba kobuhlungu ngesikhathi a I-osteoarthritis
• hlaziya i i-rheumatism yokuvuvukala, futhi ikakhulukazi i rheumatoid arthritis

• thola umsuka wezinhlungu nokuphazamiseka kwemithambo yezitho.

Isiguli sibekwe phezu kwetafula elincane elikwazi ukushelela emshinini oyi-cylindrical esixhunywe kuwo. Izisebenzi zezokwelapha, ezibekwe kwelinye igumbi, zilawula ukunyakaza kwetafula isiguli esibekwe kulo kusetshenziswa isilawuli kude futhi zixhumana naso ngombhobho.

Uchungechunge oluningana lokusikeka luyenziwa, ngokwazo zonke izinhlelo zesikhala. Ngesikhathi kuthathwa izithombe, umshini ubanga umsindo omkhulu futhi isiguli sicelwa ukuba singanyakazi.

Kwezinye izimo, udayi noma i-contrast medium ingasetshenziswa. Ibe isijovwa emthanjeni ngaphambi kokuhlolwa.

Izithombe ezikhiqizwa ngesikhathi se-MRI zizovumela udokotela ukuthi enze ukuxilongwa okunembile izifo zamathambo, imisipha noma amalunga.

Ngakho, izokwazi, isibonelo, ukuthola:

• uma kwenzeka kuba sokuqaqamba kwamalunga : Akukho ama-synovite (ukuvuvukala kwe-synovium, ulwelwesi olungaphakathi kwe-capsule yamalunga ahambayo) kanye nokuguguleka kwangaphambi kwesikhathi ezindaweni ezingakwazi ukufundwa nge-ultrasound

• a ukulimala kwe-cruciate ligament, i-Achilles tendon noma uqwanga lwamadolo

• isifo samathambo (i-osteomyelitis) noma umdlavuza wamathambo

• a i-herniated disc, lo ukucindezelwa komgogodla

• noma i-algodystrophy noma i-algoneurodystrophy: isifo sobuhlungu besandla noma sonyawo kulandela ukuhlukumezeka okufana nokuphuka
