Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, uses a magnetic field and a sophisticated computer system to create detailed, intricate images of the body’s internal organs, structures, and tissue.
In orthopedics, we use MRIs to produce high-quality images of soft tissue areas such as tendons, ligaments, and muscles. MRIs produce extremely clear images of the hand, wrist, elbow, shoulder, spine, hip, knee, foot, and ankle.

X-Rays
Radiography, or X-ray, is the oldest and most frequently used form of medical imaging. X-rays are diagnostic images that are created by passing small, highly controlled amounts of radiation through the human body to capture the resulting shadows and reflections on a photographic plate.
The most common use of X-rays is to assist in identifying and treating bone fractures. Diagnostic X-ray images of your injury can reveal the tiniest details – even very fine, hairline fractures or chips in bone.
When X-ray images are taken after orthopedic treatment, it is done to ensure that a fracture has stabilized, is properly aligned, and shows signs of healing. Bone X-rays are an essential tool for orthopedic surgery as well and may be used in conjunction with joint replacement or fracture reduction procedures.
X-ray images of the spine, joints, and extremities are performed every day at Advanced Bone & Joint offices in St. Peters, O'Fallon, & Wentzville Missouri, eliminating your need to travel to another diagnostic facility.
