Technology is cool.  Nowhere is this more prevalent than in medical imaging.  I’ve been dealing with knee pain for a while and finally got it checked out.  I received a MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and was amazed by the technology.  25min, listening to James Taylor and voila, a clear picture of what is inside my knee.  No knife required.  The images looked so clear even I was able to find the problem, I think.  I’m not a doctor.

An MRI takes images of “slices” as it moves deeper through the knee.  These images are of the same knee going deeper and deeper, one “slice” at a time.

The first image has the miniscus looking okay, in the above image there appears to be the beginning of the tear.

This image clearly shows a problem (in my non-medical opinion).  We’ll see what the Doc says, but either way imaging is cool.
