What is a MRI Tibia and Fibula Left?
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) uses powerful magnets and radiofrequency waves — with no ionising radiation — to create high-resolution cross-sectional images.
A MRI Tibia and Fibula Left allows your radiologist to examine:
- The tibia (shin bone) and fibula (smaller bone in the lower leg)
- Cartilage and joint surfaces within the ankle and knee joints
- Ligaments and tendons around the lower leg and ankle
- Muscles of the lower leg
- Bone marrow and the outer layers of the bone
- Blood vessels in the lower leg
MRI offers unmatched soft-tissue contrast and is widely used in specialist care for diagnosing and following-up disease of the tibia and fibula left.

Frequently asked questions
How long does an MRI of the left tibia and fibula take?
A typical MRI scan of the lower leg takes between 30 to 45 minutes to complete. Your appointment may be slightly longer to allow for preparation and aftercare.
Will I need contrast for my tibia and fibula MRI?
Contrast is not always needed for tibia and fibula scans. If it is clinically required for your specific situation, it can be added for an additional fee. Your referring clinician or our team can advise if this is likely to be necessary.
Can I have an MRI if I have metal in my body?
This depends on the type and location of the metal. Certain implants are MRI-safe, while others are not. It's crucial to inform our team about any metal implants or foreign bodies when you book so we can assess suitability.
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 72 hours, where you can view and download your images and report. You can share these with your GP or any specialist.
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.
