What is an MRI Foot Right 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 Right Scan allows your radiologist to examine:
- Bones of the foot (tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges)
- Ligaments and tendons around the ankle and foot
- Cartilage and joint surfaces
- Soft tissues, including muscles and fat
- Blood vessels and nerves
MRI offers unmatched soft-tissue contrast and is widely used in specialist care for diagnosing and following-up disease of the foot right.
Is this scan right for you?
Common reasons for having this scan include:
- Persistent pain in your right foot or ankle
- Swelling or bruising that doesn't improve
- Difficulty bearing weight or walking
- A feeling of instability in your foot
- A suspected fracture after an injury
- Numbness or tingling in the foot
- A lump or swelling you've noticed
What an MRI Foot Right Scan can find
MRI can identify:
- Injuries to ligaments, such as sprains
- Tendon issues, like tendinitis or tears
- Stress fractures or other bone injuries
- Inflammation in joints or soft tissues
- Cysts or other soft tissue masses
- Arthritis affecting the foot joints
- Nerve entrapment, like Morton's neuroma

Frequently asked questions
How long does an MRI of the right foot take?
A typical MRI scan of the right foot takes between 30 and 45 minutes to complete. Your appointment may be longer to allow for preparation and to discuss the scan.
Can I have an MRI if I have metal implants?
Many modern implants are MRI-compatible, but it's crucial to inform us about any metal implants or foreign bodies you have. We will assess this carefully with you before your scan.
What happens after my MRI scan?
Your scan images will be reviewed by a UK-certified Consultant Radiologist. You'll receive a detailed report, usually within 3 working days, accessible via your secure online patient portal. You can then share this with your GP or a specialist.
Do I need a referral from my GP for a right foot MRI?
No, a GP referral is not required to book a private MRI scan at MyScanHub. You can self-refer for your convenience.
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.

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.
