Digital X-Ray

Digital X-Ray


During your visit x-rays may be required to accurately diagnose your condition. Our X-ray Department is conveniently located at the center of the clinic.

Missoula Bone & Joint utilizes Digital Radiography (DR) to provide immediate image acquisition, which allows us to work fast and accurately to minimize your wait time. These high quality digital x-rays will be reviewed with you, by your provider, during your appointment.

We understand that it is never a good time to be injured. Our friendly and experienced staff will work with you to make you feel comfortable during your exam while.

MRI

"Our mission is to provide professional MRI services with compassionate clinical care and excellence." 

Missoula Bone & Joint has a full-body 1.5 Tesla MR scanner from GE Optima MR360. This high performance system is located just down the hall from the exam rooms, making this a convenient part of your evaluation.

The Optima MR360 has a short tunnel which allows for more versatility when scanning. When doing lower extremity exams, this type of MRI system allows patients to lie with their head in the space outside of the MRI machine. MRI is a painless procedure that simply requires that patients remain still while the images are taken.

The Optima MR360 is also equipped with the Genesis Ultra Music System. You will be able to choose your own music genre from Pandora. MBJ MR Imaging will supply the disposable MRI specific MagnaPlug Ear Plugs.

While the MRI procedure itself causes no pain, having to lie still for the length of the procedure might cause some discomfort or pain, particularly in the case of a recent injury or invasive procedure such as surgery. The technologist will use all possible comfort measures and complete the procedure as quickly as possible to minimize any discomfort or pain.

Generally, MRI of the bones, joints, or soft tissue follows this process:

  1. There is no special restriction on diet or activity prior to an MRI procedure.
  2. You will be asked to remove any clothing, jewelry, eyeglasses, hearing aids, hairpins, removable dental work, or other objects that may interfere with the procedure.
  3. If you are asked to remove clothing, you will be given a gown to wear.
  4. If you are to have a procedure done with contrast, an intravenous (IV) line will be started in the hand or arm for injection of the contrast dye.
  5. You will lie on a scan table that slides into a large circular opening of the scanning machine. Pillows and straps may be used to prevent movement during the procedure.
  6. A surface coil may be placed over the area to be examined if it is a relatively small area, such as a joint.
  7. You will be given earplugs or a headset to wear to help block out the noise from the scanner.
  8. It will be important for you to remain very still during the examination, as any movement could cause distortion and affect the quality of the scan.
  9. Be prepared to be in the MRI scanner for at least 30 minutes.
  10. The technologist will be in another room where the scanner controls are located. However, you will be in constant sight of the technologist through a window. Speakers inside the scanner will enable the technologist to communicate with and hear you. You will have a call button so that you can let the technologist know if you have any problems during the procedure. The technologist will be watching you at all times and will be in constant communication.
  11. During the scanning process, a clicking noise will sound as the magnetic field is created and pulses of radio waves are sent from the scanner.
  12. Once the scan has been completed, the table will slide out of the scanner and you will be assisted off the table.
  13. If an IV line was inserted for contrast administration, the line will be removed.

Your MRI results are read and diagnosed by both a contracted radiologist and your orthopedic surgeon. MRI results are usually available within two to three business days. At the time of your scan we will tell you how you will receive your results.

As a facility accredited by the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Magnetic Resonance Laboratories (IACMRI), MBJ MR Imaging holds the same commitment to compassion, skill, and knowledge that makes Missoula Bone & Joint a preferred orthopedic practice in the Missoula area.

Providing quality patient care is not only a priority at Missoula Bone & Joint, it is part of our mission as an orthopedic group. All diagnostic imaging performed at MBJ MR Imaging allows the highest quality MRIs to be completed in a familiar and welcoming environment.

MRI Forms

The Federal Government (Patient Protection and Affordable Healthcare Act, Sections 6409 and 6003 dated March 23, 2010) mandates we provide information on facilities other than those owned by our physicians. You have the right to choose your facility. If you would like to receive services at another facility we will be happy to provide you with a referral. Here is a list of facilities:

Surrounding-MRI-clinics

Before Your MRI Appointment

Your answers to the questions on the MRI Metal Screening will help us determine whether an MRI examination is safe for you based on your history. In addition, we need to determine whether there are any factors that may interfere with your study or may cause difficulty with the scan results.

To save time at your MRI appointment, please fill out this MRI Patient History Form, Print Out and Bring With You to your MRI appointment.

If your procedure involves the use of contrast dye, you will be asked to sign a consent form that gives permission to do the procedure. Read the form carefully and ask questions if something is not clear.
Contrast Information

Durable medical equipment (DME)


Durable medical equipment (DME) means any boots, slings, or braces used to immobilize a joint (prevent it from moving) or provide functional support while the joint is moving. We have DME for every body part, from the toes to the neck.

We stock all products ordered by our providers for our patients. Having these products on site is not only convenient from an access standpoint, but you also learn how to fit and care for your DME as well. Our DME coordinator is a Certified Fitter of Orthotics (CFO) and is trained on how to properly fit you for any DME product that your MBJ physician may prescribe.

We specialize in functional ACL and osteoarthritis bracing. We will meet with you, discuss the brace you will need, take measurements, preauthorize the brace with insurance, fit the brace, and schedule a follow-up check to make sure you get the best fit and function from your brace.

Now available at Missoula Bone & Joint are the knee Rollabout scooters complete with basket and bell. Ideal for patients with foot or ankle injuries that require non-weight bearing for a period of time. We also have crutches and walkers available.

If you are having difficulties with your crutches after surgery, or clinic visit, Missoula Bone & Joint offers crutch training and adjustments free of charge to our patients. Please call our DME department (406)721-4436 ext.5994

In fact, if you are having any difficulties with any brace, sling, boot, or something doesn't feel right with your DME product please don't delay, give us a call so we can help (406) 721-4436 ext. 5994

Our DME department also offers cold therapy sales or rentals for all knee and shoulder surgeries.
