About this scan

What is a MRI Tibia and Fibula Right?

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 Right allows your radiologist to examine:

  • The tibia (shin bone) and fibula (the smaller bone in the lower leg)
  • Bone marrow and the inner structure of the bones
  • Ligaments, tendons, and muscles in the lower leg
  • Cartilage within the ankle and knee joints
  • Blood vessels and nerves in the 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 right.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

How long does a right tibia and fibula MRI take?

A typical MRI scan of this area takes between 30 and 45 minutes to complete. Your appointment may be slightly longer to allow for preparation and positioning.

What happens after my MRI scan?

Your scan images will be reviewed by a UK-certified Consultant Radiologist. You will receive your detailed report within 72 hours via your secure online patient portal. You can then view, download, and share these results, or send them to your GP.

Do I need a referral from my GP?

No, you do not need a referral from your GP to book a private MRI scan at MyScanHub. You can self-refer for your convenience.

Is MRI safe?

MRI scans use a strong magnetic field and radio waves, not ionising radiation, making them generally safe. However, the magnetic field means it's not suitable for everyone; please inform us of any relevant medical implants or conditions.

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.
