What is a MRI Foot Right?
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) uses powerful magnets and radiofrequency waves — with no ionising radiation — to create high-resolution cross-sectional images.
A MRI Foot Right 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.

- Inflammation in joints or soft tissues
- Cysts or other soft tissue masses
- Arthritis affecting the foot joints

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 72 hours, 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.
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.

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.
