MRI's ARE 100% accurate it's the READING of the person looking at the MRI, you f'n dope.
Also for the people saying or even quoting a doctor saying the swelling interferes with the MRI that is BULLSHIT.
It actually gives contrast to the ligaments, swelling doesn't do shit to interfere with it.
It is WILD to me as a dude that has to look at this shit that there's supposed doctors on Twitter talking about it as clueless as they are.
Swelling and edema and non-contractile elements are seen on the MRI as such. They do not interfere with looking at the muscle, the architecture of it or the tendons and ligaments.
Fuck I can't read that dumb shit one more time. [Reply]

The only thing swelling would interfere with is testing stability or using surgery to scope the knee. [Reply]

100%- Anterior drawer test would be effected by swelling of the knee but we are talking about NFL athletes. Drawer test is what you get for your average schmuck who hurt their knee and felt a pop but NFL athletes are getting multiple MRI's instantly whenever a knee injury is suspected. [Reply]
Chiefs HC Andy Reid told reporters that they want to wait for the swelling in Rashee Rice’s knee to subside before the wide receiver undergoes additional testing next week.
Spotted Rashee Rice in the Chiefs locker room. Rice’s right leg was wrapped in a full leg sleeve, and he was walking about normally without crutches. He won’t be available to the media until he recovers. https://t.co/GesBtTP66k
