What Is Arthrogram Lake Zurich Imaging?

An arthrogram is a diagnostic imaging exam used to evaluate the inside of a joint in more detail.

During an arthrogram, contrast material is placed into the joint before imaging is performed. This can help outline joint structures more clearly depending on the reason for the exam and the type of imaging ordered.

Arthrograms are commonly ordered for joint pain, suspected labral tears, cartilage concerns, ligament concerns, instability, prior injury, or symptoms that require a more detailed joint evaluation.

How to Prepare and What to Expect

How to Prepare

Preparation depends on the arthrogram ordered and whether additional imaging is being performed after the joint injection.

Bring your imaging order, insurance card, photo ID, and any prior imaging reports or discs if available. Tell the staff if you have allergies, pregnancy concerns, blood thinner use, infection concerns, kidney disease, or a history of contrast reaction.

You may feel pressure or temporary discomfort during the exam. Timing depends on the joint being evaluated and the type of imaging ordered.
