MRI offered at imaging centers like American Health Imaging (AHI) captures detailed images of your knee’s anatomy, including bones and soft tissue.

Let’s look at the most common types of knee injury and knee pain causes to better understand how knee MRI can offer clues to help improve your quality of life.
