Washington Orthopaedic Center has its own Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) device for extremities. This provides detailed information about tendons, ligaments, muscle, and bone marrow that standard x-rays cannot. Our MRI is particularly useful for looking at knees, shoulders, wrists, ankles, and other small joints. For larger scans, such as backs and hips, we schedule imaging at Washington Diagnostic MRI and Providence Centralia Hospital directly adjacent to our offices.

Our patients also benefit from the latest technology in tele-radiology. This is where the image is sent electronically to specialists that read our patients results with expert accuracy. Today’s MRI technology has virtually eliminated the need for invasive exploratory surgeries.
