Advanced imaging modalities are expensive, and access to advanced imaging services may vary by socioeconomic factors, creating the potential for unwarranted variations in care. Ankle sprains are a common injury for which variations in MRI use can occur, both via underuse of indicated MRIs (appropriate use) and overuse of nonindicated MRIs (inappropriate use). High-value, equitable healthcare would decrease inappropriate use and increase appropriate use of MRI for this common injury. It is unknown whether socioeconomic factors are associated with underuse of indicated MRIs and overuse of nonindicated MRIs for ankle sprains.

与私人保险相比，医疗补助保险与踝关节扭伤的 MRI 使用减少相关：回顾性数据库分析。

先进的成像方式价格昂贵，并且获得先进成像服务的机会可能会因社会经济因素而异，从而可能导致护理方面出现不必要的变化。踝关节扭伤是一种常见损伤，MRI 使用情况可能会发生变化，包括未充分使用指定 MRI（适当使用）和过度使用非指定 MRI（不当使用）。高价值、公平的医疗保健将减少 MRI 对这种常见损伤的不当使用，并增加 MRI 的适当使用。目前尚不清楚社会经济因素是否与脚踝扭伤时未充分使用指定 MRI 和过度使用非指定 MRI 相关。
