The MRI SI Joint scan at Sooriya Diagnostic, Kathmandu, is an advanced imaging technique used to evaluate the sacroiliac (SI) joints, which connect the spine to the pelvis. This high-resolution MRI scan helps in diagnosing a variety of conditions that may affect the SI joints, including arthritis, inflammation, infections, fractures, or sacroiliitis.

An MRI of the SI joint is especially valuable for patients suffering from lower back pain, pelvic discomfort, or unexplained pain in the buttocks or hips. It can identify degenerative changes, inflammation, or damage caused by conditions like ankylosing spondylitis or other inflammatory disorders. Additionally, MRI provides an excellent way to assess the soft tissues, ligaments, and cartilage around the SI joints, which can sometimes be overlooked by traditional X-rays.

The MRI procedure is non-invasive and does not require the use of ionizing radiation, making it a safe choice for diagnosing SI joint disorders. Patients undergoing the scan will lie on the MRI table while the machine captures detailed cross-sectional images of the sacroiliac joints. The scan is generally quick and painless, offering valuable insights for treatment planning.

At Sooriya Diagnostic, we use state-of-the-art MRI technology and experienced radiologists to provide accurate, timely, and reliable diagnostic results, ensuring that patients receive the best care possible for their SI joint conditions.
