Really impressed with every aspect of this MRI service. The staff, facilities and price were very good (certainly compared to others). Also received the scan result, radiologist report and images before the end of the day! Exceptional.

About bone and joint blood tests
What these tests look at
These tests look at markers linked to your bones and joints. They include calcium, vitamin D, markers of inflammation, and urate, which is linked to gout. You can book one test or a panel.
You might book one for joint pain or stiffness that will not settle, if an inflammatory arthritis has been mentioned to you, or to check bone health. Blood tests can be used alongside a scan rather than instead of one.
On the day, a small blood sample is taken from your arm. If the joint itself needs looking at, an MSK ultrasound or MSK MRI can do that, with a written radiologist report included.

Trust isn’t built by promises — it’s earned through experience. Here’s what real patients have to say about their journey with MyScanHub.
Awesome. Easy to book, great pricing and no referral needed. Was seen on time, done in 15 minutes, lovely staff and comfortable facilities. Report received the same day! So impressed — would not hesitate to recommend. Thank you
Could not recommend more. We had a reassurance baby ultrasound and from the moment we got there to the moment we left we had the best service with the nicest people. The receptionist was so warm and kind and the Sonographer really went above and beyond to get us some lovely clear pictures. Our whole experience was perfect thank you!

Common questions
Bone and Joint Blood Tests questions, answered
Can a blood test show what is causing my joint pain?
Not on its own. Blood tests can help show inflammation or markers linked to gout, but they cannot see the joint. A scan such as MSK ultrasound or MSK MRI looks at the joint itself.
Which blood test is used for gout?
Urate, sometimes called uric acid, is the marker usually checked. A blood test on its own does not diagnose gout, so results are read alongside your symptoms. A GP consultation, which is a separate service, can help you go through them.
Do I need a referral for a bone or joint blood test?
No. Book directly online, by phone on 0800 151 2227, or on WhatsApp. We are a private clinic in Dartford, Kent, with a fixed price and no hidden fees.
Should I have a blood test or a scan for my joint?
You can have both. Blood tests look at what is happening in your body, and a scan looks at the joint itself. If you are unsure which to book, ask us or book a GP consultation, a separate service.
Who looks at my results?
Your results are reviewed by a clinician. If you would like to go through them in more detail, a GP consultation is available as a separate service.
