Description
Why do you examine the lower legs with a magnetic camera?
The lower leg consists of two bones, the tibia and calf, which support the entire body weight and move the body. It is not uncommon for a trauma to damage one of the legs, stress fractures in the lower legs from overloading are also a common condition that mainly affects athletes or active exercisers. If you suffer from osteoporosis, even a little or moderate strain can lead to stress fractures. With an MRI of the lower leg, 2 images are taken, a frontal and a lateral image. The examination gives a quick insight into what type of damage is involved in the ligaments, whether fractures (broken bones or cracks) or wear and tear and osteoarthritis are present. The examination takes approximately 30 minutes.

Preparations
If you have metal splinters, a pacemaker, an insulin pump or other electronic equipment in your body, you cannot be examined with a magnetic camera. Metal that is not magnetic, on the other hand, does not pose an obstacle for magnetic camera examination.
