An arthrogram uses Xrays and a special dye to make pictures of your joints. The dye is injected into your joint. After the dye is injected, pictures are taken using an Xray machine. The pictures may also be taken using a CT (Computerised Tomography) scanner or an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scanner. This is called a CT arthrogram or a MRI arthrogram. What types of imaging technologies do providers use in arthrography Your provider may use one or more imaging tests during your arthrogram: Xray uses a small dose of radiation to take a picture of internal body structures.
