Bridger Orthopedic and Sports Medicine performs all musculoskeletal x-rays on site with our state-of-the-art digital x-ray equipment. The digital x-rays are available immediately for interpretation by the orthopedic physician.
One examination that may be required to better assist in your treatment is a diagnostic imaging technique known as an MRI or Magnetic Resonance Imaging. An MRI is often needed to gain a clearer understanding of hidden clues regarding possible torn knee ligaments and cartilage, torn rotator cuffs, herniated disks, hip and pelvic conditions and other situations.
At Bridger Orthopedic and Sports Medicine we are able to perform in-house only MRIs of the upper extremity (except shoulder) and all lower extremities. Our MRI is comfortable and very patient friendly. We use the latest MRI technology. After the images are processed, they are instantaneously transmitted to California Advanced Imaging in California for diagnosis by a trained musculoskeletal radiologist. Reports are typically available to BOSM within 24 hours.
Bridger Orthopedic and Sports Medicine, has been granted accreditation in the areas of Musculoskeletal by The Intersocietal Commission of the Accreditation of Magnetic Resonance Laboratories (ICAMRL). The laboratory is one of the first 500 magnetic resonance laboratories in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico to be so recognized for its commitment to high quality patient care and its provision of quality diagnostic testing.
Should you need an MRI of your shoulder or spine, you will be referred to an outside imaging facility of your choice.
