Drs. Mori,
Bean & Brooks provides
a complete
musculoskeletal (MSK) imaging service.
Our service includes
both conventional and state-of-the-art
imaging including
imaging guided interventional procedures.
Our MSK imaging
team has years of experience which
may include additional
fellowship training specifically
in MSK.
We offer conventional
radiographs (x-rays) and
fluoroscopy
which enable us to directly visualize
the area of concern.
These modalities also allow guidance
and placement of
needles into areas needing intervention
including joint
injections or aspirations throughout
the body.
Significant advances in
technology have occurred
over the
past few years. Many of the newer
techniques are referred to
as “advanced imaging techniques” and
they include computed
tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI). CT
gives a highly detailed picture of
the anatomy of bone and aid
in subtle fracture diagnosis. MRI
has revolutionized the
diagnosis of bone and soft tissue
conditions with its detailed
pictures of anatomy and characterization
of abnormalities.
Conventional, CT and MRI arthrography
are routinely
performed by MBB subspecialized radiologists.
We provide expert image
interpretation for the
Jacksonville
Jaguars as well as many other professional
and amateur
athletes in northeast Florida.
The choice of one or more
imaging exams depends on
the
patient's condition and is generally
initiated by the primary
care provider or surgical specialist.
Conventional x-rays are
usually a starting point and can
give an overview of the
problem. Advanced imaging may follow
with consultation
between the clinical physician and
the radiologist to decide
which of these studies might provide
the answer as quickly as
possible.
It is our job as MBB musculoskeletal
radiologists to make sure
the appropriate test is ordered,
taking into consideration the
clinical problem as well as the safety
and special needs of
each patient.
