An MRI scan of your arm joint is a painless imaging test that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed pictures of the structures inside your shoulder, elbow, or wrist. Your doctor might recommend this scan if you have persistent joint pain, suspected injuries, or other conditions affecting your arm that need a closer look. During the procedure, you'll lie still on a table that slides into a tube-shaped machine, and you may hear some loud humming and knocking sounds while images are being taken, which typically takes 30-45 minutes.
