What is an MRI Finger Both Scan?
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) uses powerful magnets and radiofrequency waves — with no ionising radiation — to create high-resolution cross-sectional images.
An MRI Finger Both Scan allows your radiologist to examine:
- Bones and bone marrow
- Joints and cartilage
- Tendons and tendon sheaths
- Ligaments
- Soft tissues and blood vessels
MRI offers unmatched soft-tissue contrast and is widely used in specialist care for diagnosing and following-up disease of the finger both.
Is this scan right for you?
Common reasons for having this scan include:
- Persistent pain in one or both fingers
- Swelling or stiffness that limits movement
- A clicking or catching sensation when moving your finger
- Reduced range of motion or difficulty with fine motor tasks
- A suspected injury or trauma to the finger
- Numbness or tingling that may indicate nerve involvement
- A lump or swelling on the finger
What an MRI Finger Both Scan can find
MRI can identify:
- Inflammation or swelling in joints (e.g., arthritis)
- Tendon injuries like tears or tendinitis
- Ligament damage or sprains
- Cysts or non-cancerous lumps
- Signs of infection
- Assessment of bone or soft tissue abnormalities

Frequently asked questions
How long does an MRI of both fingers take?
A typical MRI scan for both fingers takes around 30–45 minutes. Your appointment may be slightly longer to allow for preparation and positioning.
Is there any radiation involved in an MRI scan?
No, MRI scans use a strong magnetic field and radio waves, not ionising radiation, making them a safe imaging option for many people.
Can I have an MRI if I have claustrophobia?
We understand that enclosed spaces can be challenging. MyScanHub offers wider-bore scanners, and our trained radiographers are experienced in supporting anxious patients to help you feel as comfortable as possible.
What happens after my MRI scan?
Your scan images will be reviewed by a UK-certified Consultant Radiologist. You will receive access to your secure online patient portal within 3 working days, where you can view and download your images and report. You can also choose to share these with your GP.
Do I need a GP referral?
No — MyScanHub accepts self-referral for most scans. Our consultant radiologists review every case. Some scans (e.g. contrast studies) do need a referring clinician; we'll let you know at booking.
When will I get my report?
Written reports from a GMC-registered consultant radiologist are delivered within 3 working days of your scan, often sooner. You can access the report — and the imaging — through your patient account at myscanhub.com.
