Orthopaedic Surgeon Questions Radiologist

Can you tell by looking at an MRI of the knee, which knee it is?

I had an MRI done on my knee, it should have been for my right knee. but the doctor's orders said the left knee. After going back and forth, they ended up doing the MRI. It showed no problems but now I'm wondering if they did the wrong knee. Can you tell which knee it is just by looking at the MRI?

Yes, for a right knee, an easy landmark is the fibula should be on the left side of the image...
