Arthritis in the shoulder joint
Bone spurs in the shoulder area

Broken shoulder bone
Dislocation of the shoulder
Shoulder separation
Frozen shoulder, which occurs when the muscles, tendons, and ligaments inside the shoulder become stiff, making movement difficult and painful
Overuse or injury of nearby tendons, such as the bicep muscles of the arms

A torn meniscus usually produces well-localized pain in the knee. The pain often is worse during twisting or squatting motions. Unless the torn meniscus has locked the knee, many people with a torn meniscus can walk, stand, sit, and sleep without pain. WELCOME TO TOTOWA MEDICAL IMAGING!

Twisting injuries of the ankle can often lead to a sprain of the supporting ligaments. Most sprain injuries are minor, easy to diagnose without the aid of imaging and self limiting , healing on their own accord. With ice, rest and rehabilitation, a sprained ankle will typically heal naturally; however, if the sprain is of a higher severity or if it doesn’t respond to conservative treatment, it may be necessary to undertake further evaluation, by the way of medical imaging, so as to look for the presence of tears (“sprains”) to the ligaments that support the ankle, exclude fractures and cartilage injuries, which may lead to instability. While it is possible to use ultrasound to diagnose most ligament injuries of the ankle, its inability to evaluate cartilage and joint injuries, as well as many fractures, often results in an MRI scan being undertaken in order to thoroughly evaluate and ankle injury.

Causes
Your neck is flexible and supports the weight of your head, so it can be vulnerable to injuries and conditions that cause pain and restrict motion. Neck pain causes include:
* Muscle strains. Overuse, such as too many hours hunched over your computer or smartphone, often triggers muscle strains. Even minor things, such as reading in bed or gritting your teeth, can strain neck muscles.
* Worn joints. Just like the other joints in your body, your neck joints tend to wear down with age. Osteoarthritis causes the cushions (cartilage) between your bones (vertebrae) to deteriorate. Your body then forms bone spurs that affect joint motion and cause pain.
* Nerve compression. Herniated disks or bone spurs in the vertebrae of your neck can press on the nerves branching out from the spinal cord.
* Injuries. Rear-end auto collisions often result in whiplash injury, which occurs when the head is je**ed backward and then forward, straining the soft tissues of the neck.
* Diseases. Certain diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, meningitis or cancer, can cause neck pain.

What is a kidney, ureter, and bladder X-ray?

A kidney, ureter, and bladder (KUB) X-ray may be performed to assess the abdominal area for causes of abdominal pain, or to assess the organs and structures of the urinary and/or gastrointestinal (GI) system. A KUB X-ray may be the first diagnostic procedure used to assess the urinary system.

X-rays use invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs on film. X-rays are made by using external radiation to produce images of the body, its organs, and other internal structures for diagnostic purposes. X-rays pass through body tissues onto specially treated plates (similar to camera film) and a "negative" type picture is made (the more solid a structure is, the whiter it appears on the film). Digital films and digital media are more commonly used now than the film media.

What is a fetal MRI?
A fetal MRI is a noninvasive imaging test that offers detailed information about anatomic structures of the fetus, providing clear, high-resolution images. MRI, which stands for magnetic resonance imaging, uses a magnetic field, rather than radiation, to obtain pictures for evaluation. In an ultrafast fetal MRI, images are quickly captured using a “snapshot” technique.
Fetal MRI can supplement the information obtained from your high-resolution fetal ultrasound and can provide additional information regarding your baby’s diagnosis. It is performed in the 2nd or 3rd trimester of pregnancy. This type of examination is used to evaluate abnormalities in your baby's brain, spine, and body. MRI may be used to confirm an ultrasound diagnosis or add significant diagnostic information in complex cases.
