Arthrogram

An arthrogram is a type of imaging where contrast solution, a special dye, is injected into your joint. Then using fluoroscopy, real-time X-ray imaging, pictures are taken to examine the area of concern. The dye helps highlight the area.

HOW DO I PREPARE FOR MY PROCEDURE?

  • Please let us know if you are, or may be, pregnant, or if you’ve had recent surgery.
  • If you take insulin to manage your diabetes, please let your booking coordinator know. You may have juice one hour prior to your exam with your medication.
  • If you are currently taking antibiotics, you will need to wait two days after your last dose to be able to have your injection done.
  • Take all prescribed medications as directed.
  • You are encouraged to have a small snack one hour before your exam.
  • Please arrive 30 minutes before your appointment to allow enough time to check in with reception.
  • Bring photo identification and your provincial health card.
  • Wear comfortable clothes.
  • Please do not bring children who require supervision.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING MY PROCEDURE?

  • You may be asked to change into a gown or shorts, depending on the area to be imaged.
  • A team member will review the consent form, explain procedure details, and answer any questions.
  • We will then escort you to our treatment suite where you will meet the radiologist who will clean the skin and inject a local anesthetic, similar to the freezing you get at the dentist.
  • We will then inject the contrast solution and your technologist will position you on the table. We will do our best to make you comfortable.
  • Once we have successfully captured your images, you are free to leave.

WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?

We do our best to have our radiologists interpret the information and forward the results to your doctor in a timely manner. Please consult with your doctor regarding your results and any follow up exams or questions.

HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?

This exam is covered under your Alberta Health Care Plan. It is not currently offered at our Saskatchewan clinics.
