Why MRI Shoulder Scanning?

If you have pain in your shoulder, it may be due to inflammation, wear and tear (arthritis), bursitis, calcification or pinching of tendons in the shoulder joint. Shoulder pain is the third most common diagnosis from the musculoskeletal system in primary care. 25% of the Swedish population suffers from shoulder problems.
Shoulder problems can last a long time and severely limit daily activities. Symptoms can include pain radiating from the shoulder to the neck or down the arm. Therefore, it is important to get help as soon as possible.

The shoulder joint has the largest range of motion of all the joints in the body, which also makes it potentially unstable. If you have instability in the shoulder, it can cause impingement syndrome (impingement syndrome) of muscle tendons with pain at night and when lifting the arm. Wear and tear (arthritis) in the joint can also cause impingement syndrome. Frozen shoulder is due to contraction and thickening of the joint capsule and affects 5% of all Swedes. Rotator cuff injuries and bursitis are also common.

With MR Axel, you can quickly get a detailed picture of what your symptoms are due to in order to get the right treatment and rehabilitation for your condition.

Advanced and harmless examination

MRI of the shoulder, or magnetic resonance imaging as it is called, is a very reliable, simple, painless, and advanced method. With this technique, you can visualize the shoulder at the millimeter level.

Magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI as it is called, does not contain any X-ray radiation and is a reliable, harmless and painless examination.

Is MR Axel something for me?

Through MRI scanning of the shoulder, doctors can quickly and clearly identify whether there is damage or other abnormality that may be the cause of your symptoms.

Results of examination from specialist doctor within 7 working days

After your examination, your scan is first reviewed by an X-ray specialist. Prevcare's specialist doctors then analyze and compile the results into an individual written report that you will receive within 7 working days of the examination.

You will also receive a USB with your MRI images sent home from your examination.

This way, you will more quickly find out what is causing your symptoms and what treatment is available to you.

Referral to a specialist if necessary

If we discover something serious during your examination, our doctor will, in dialogue with you, send a referral to your health center or specialist clinic so that you can receive the right help. The referral is included in the cost of the MRI Shoulder Examination at Prevcare Clinic.

Information about MR Axel

What is an MRI scan?
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI or MRI) is a medical technique for imaging diagnostics using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) camera.
  • MRI involves taking images using magnetic fields and radio waves without any X-ray radiation, which makes it completely harmless.
  • The technology is used to detect diseases, map injuries and follow up treatments at the millimeter level in almost all human organs, such as tumors, inflammation, fractures, osteoarthritis, stroke and changes in blood vessels and bones.
This is how MR Axel goes:
  • MRI examinations are performed at X-ray clinics. The images are first reviewed by a specialist in X-ray (radiologist). Prevcare's specialist then reviews the results, writes a summary and recommendations. If necessary, a referral is sent for further processing.
  • When you are examined with an MRI camera, you lie down on a bed that is moved into a so-called magnetic tunnel. There, you lie still while the images are taken. A nurse operates the camera from an adjacent room, and you can talk to the nurse at all times through a microphone and speaker.
  • After the MRI examination, you can leave the clinic immediately.
  • MR Axel takes about 20 minutes.
Who is not suitable for MR Axel?
  • If you have electronic equipment implanted in your body, such as a pacemaker, insulin pump or cochlear implant, for example.
  • If you have had surgery on your head or heart and have metal clips implanted instead of stitches after surgery.
  • If you have metal splinters in your eye or other part of your body.
  • If you answered yes to any of the above, tell us so we and our doctor can look at what options are available.
  • Fixed dental fillings, dental implants, prostheses, hip-knee prostheses, and screws in the arms and legs are not an obstacle to an MRI examination.
How do I prepare for MR Axel?
  • Please state in your health form if you have had previous X-ray examinations. This is so that our doctors can assess your condition as accurately as possible.
  • It is important that you state if you have diabetes, kidney problems or other illnesses in your health form. This is so that our doctors can assess your condition as accurately as possible.
  • It is necessary to tell your doctor if you are pregnant. MRI is generally not recommended during the first trimester of pregnancy. In such cases, the examination may be postponed until after the baby is born.
  • It is important that you tell us if you suffer from claustrophobia, or have a general feeling of discomfort in confined spaces. In this case, a discussion can be held with the responsible doctor regarding whether it is necessary to prescribe sedatives to make the examination as comfortable as possible. If you think that you are calmed by music, there is also, in some cases, the possibility of playing music during the examination for your comfort.
  • Also take the opportunity to leave all forms of jewelry and clothing that contain metal at home before you come for the examination.
  • Otherwise, it is good to discuss with the responsible specialist to see if there is anything above that cannot be fulfilled. At Prevcare, we are usually flexible regarding different solutions.
