What is an MRI Foot 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 Foot Both Scan allows your radiologist to examine:
- Bones and joints of the feet
- Ligaments and tendons
- Soft tissues and muscles
- Nerves
- Blood vessels
MRI offers unmatched soft-tissue contrast and is widely used in specialist care for diagnosing and following-up disease of the foot both.
Is this scan right for you?
Common reasons for having this scan include:
- Persistent pain in your feet that doesn't improve
- Swelling or bruising that isn't explained
- Difficulty walking or bearing weight
- A feeling of numbness or tingling in your feet
- Suspected stress fractures from overuse
- Concerns about arthritis or joint problems
- A lump or swelling you've noticed
What an MRI Foot Both Scan can find
MRI can identify:
- Injuries to ligaments (sprains) or tendons (tendinitis, tears)
- Stress fractures and other bone abnormalities
- Arthritis and joint inflammation
- Nerve entrapment (like Morton's neuroma)
- Cysts or soft tissue masses
- Fluid collections or swelling

How long does an MRI of both feet take?
A typical MRI scan of both feet takes between 30 and 45 minutes to complete. Our team will guide you through the process.
Can I have an MRI if I have claustrophobia?
We understand that enclosed spaces can be challenging. We have wider-bore MRI scanners and our radiographers are trained to support anxious patients. Please let us know when you book if you have concerns.
Do I need a referral from my GP?
No, you do not need a referral from your GP. You can self-refer for a private MRI scan at MyScanHub.

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.
