Dye is injected into the joint to be examined, and X-rays are taken of the area.A diagnostic procedure performed with the use of CT (computed tomography), fluoroscopy, or MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) to create an image, called an arthrogram, of the inside of a joint. Arthrography with a CT scan reveals a three-dimensional view of the bones and soft tissues, such as cartilage, of the joint being observed. Fluoroscopy passes X rays through the body and onto an X-ray sensitive, fluorescent screen so that the interior structures of a joint can be viewed. MRI, a more expensive technique, uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce images of the joint, thus avoiding exposure to radiation.An X-ray technique for examining joints. A contrast medium (either air or a liquid opaque to X-rays) is injected into the joint space, allowing its outline and contents to be traced accurately.An imaging modality occasionally employed to assess temporomandibular joint (TMJ) conditions related to internal derangement.A diagnostic method involving the X-ray examination of the interior of a damaged joint subsequent to the injection of a radiopaque solution (visible on X-ray) is known as arthrography. However, this technique is gradually being supplanted by more advanced modalities such as MRI, ultrasound scanning, and arthroscopy.The imaging of the interior of a joint using X-rays, typically achieved by injecting a substance into the joint that is not transparent to X-rays.
