What is an Ultrasound Foot Both?
Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves — no radiation and no injections — to produce real-time images of soft tissues and organs.
An Ultrasound Foot Both allows your radiologist to examine:
- Bones of the foot and ankle
- Tendons and their sheaths (e.g., Achilles tendon, tibialis posterior)
- Ligaments supporting the ankle and foot
- Nerves (e.g., tibial nerve, plantar nerves)
- Blood vessels (arteries and veins)
- Soft tissues, including muscles and fat pads
Ultrasound is safe, painless, and radiation-free — making it a first-line investigation for many conditions of the foot both.

What can an Ultrasound Foot Both detect?
Ultrasound is highly effective in detecting:
- The appearance of tendons and ligaments, looking for signs of inflammation or tears
- Fluid collections or swelling within joints or around tendons
- The presence of cysts or soft tissue masses
- Changes in the bones that may relate to injury or inflammation
- Nerve entrapment, such as Morton's neuroma
- The appearance of blood flow within vessels
- Assessing the extent of soft tissue injuries

Frequently asked questions
How long does an ultrasound of the foot take?
The scan itself typically takes around 15-30 minutes, depending on the specific areas being examined and the complexity of the findings.
Will I get my results immediately after the scan?
Your images will be reviewed by a UK-certified Consultant Radiologist. You will typically receive your detailed report within 72 hours, accessible via your secure online patient portal. You can choose to have the report sent to your GP as well.
Is an ultrasound of the foot painful?
No, an ultrasound is a painless procedure. You will feel mild pressure from the probe, and a warm gel will be applied to your skin, but there is no discomfort associated with the sound waves themselves.
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.
