X-Ray and MRI
The right diagnosis leads to the right care.
Given the importance of a proper and accurate diagnosis of conditions and injuries, Premier Bone & Joint Centers conveniently offers X-rays and MRIs for patients at our Laramie, Rock Springs and Casper locations.
What’s an X-ray?
An X-ray is a painless method that uses radioactive materials to capture images of your bones and tissues. The length of the procedure depends on the type of image required. A trained X-ray technologist will be responsible for positioning you appropriately to capture the requested image.
What’s an MRI?
MRI, which stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging, is a key tool used by orthopedic specialists to look for and diagnose injuries that cannot be identified otherwise.
The MRI:
- Utilizes high-powered magnet, radio waves, and computers to generate detailed images.
- Helps our physicians obtain accurate and timely diagnosis of your condition.
- Is the method of choice for imaging the soft tissues of the musculoskeletal system, which includes tendons, ligaments, and cartilage—the structures most commonly injured during athletic and traumatic events.
