Arthrogram

Arthrogram

What is Arthrogram?

An arthrogram is a diagnostic procedure done specifically for joint pain problems. Hip joint, Shoulder joint, knee joint, elbow joint, pelvic and wrist joint defects can be diagnosed with the help of an arthrogram. With the help of a prior injected dye, the ligaments, tendons and cartilages of these joints can be visualized in the resultant image. There are two types of arthrograms based on the site of injection. Direct and indirect. During direct arthrogram, the contrast dye will be injected directly into the joint space and during and indirect arthrogram; it will be injected into a nearby vein. A fluoroscopy or an x-ray is also performed as a part of the procedure.

  • Hemodialysis is a treatment to filter wastes and water from your blood, as your kidneys.
  • Did when they were healthy. Hemodialysis helps control blood pressure and balance.
  • Important minerals, such as potassium, sodium, and calcium, in your blood.
  • Hemodialysis can help you feel better and live longer, but it’s not a cure for kidney failure.
  • You may be able to do hemodialysis at home. Normally, hemodialysis begins well before your kidneys have shut down to the point of causing life-threatening complications.

How is it done?

  • The patient is asked to communicate if they have any allergies or are under any medications.
  • The contrast dye is then injected into the area as per the chosen method. The injection can also be done under prior local anesthetic administration to reduce pain.
  • X-rays, fluoroscopy or MRI images are taken immediately after the injection and studied.
  • With the help of the images, the professional can identify which area the defect lies in and what has to be done.
  • The patient is then advised to avoid heavy movements and exercises for at least a day.
