What is a MRI Finger Right?
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) uses powerful magnets and radiofrequency waves — with no ionising radiation — to create high-resolution cross-sectional images.
A MRI Finger Right allows your radiologist to examine:
- Tendons and their sheaths
- Ligaments and joint capsules
- Bones and cartilage
- Blood vessels
- Nerves
- Soft tissues and any fluid collections
MRI offers unmatched soft-tissue contrast and is widely used in specialist care for diagnosing and following-up disease of the finger right.

- Swelling or stiffness that limits movement
- A lump or swelling on your finger
- A history of injury or trauma to the finger
- Clicking or locking sensations

- Injuries to ligaments or tendons, such as sprains or tears
- Inflammation, like in arthritis or tenosynovitis
- Cysts or other soft tissue lumps
- Changes associated with arthritis
- Possible causes of persistent pain or swelling
- Assessment of bone or joint abnormalities

Frequently asked questions
How long does an MRI of the right finger take?
A typical MRI scan of a single body part, like your right finger, takes between 30 and 45 minutes to complete.
Can I have an MRI if I have metal in my body?
This depends on the type and location of the metal. We need to know about pacemakers, certain aneurysm clips, and metal fragments, especially in the eyes. Please discuss any concerns with us when you book.
Will I get my results straight away?
Your scan images will be available on your secure online portal within 72 hours. A detailed report from a UK-certified Consultant Radiologist will also be ready within this timeframe. You can then share these with your GP or clinician.
Is an MRI scan painful?
An MRI scan is a painless procedure. You will lie inside the scanner, which can be noisy. Our team will support you throughout to ensure you are as comfortable as possible.
How quickly can I get a scan?
Most MRI, ultrasound, and X-ray scans at MyScanHub can be booked same-day or next-day. Walk-in slots are available for X-rays most weekdays.
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 72 hours of your scan, often sooner. You can access the report — and the imaging — through your patient account on portal.myscanhub.com.
Is my data kept private?
Yes. MyScanHub is CQC-registered and fully GDPR-compliant. Your imaging and report are encrypted in transit and at rest, and only shared with parties you explicitly authorise.
Where is the clinic?
Our imaging centre is in Dartford, Kent, with on-site parking and easy access from the M25 and M2. Full directions are sent with your booking confirmation.
