What is an Ultrasound Foot Left?
Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves — no radiation and no injections — to produce real-time images of soft tissues and organs.
An Ultrasound Foot Left allows your radiologist to examine:
- Tendons (e.g., Achilles tendon, tendons around the ankle and foot)
- Ligaments
- Soft tissues
- Joints and their surfaces
- Nerves
- Blood vessels
Ultrasound is safe, painless, and radiation-free — making it a first-line investigation for many conditions of the foot left.

Symptoms that may warrant an Ultrasound Foot Left
This scan may be advised if you are experiencing any of the following:
- Pain in the heel, arch, or ball of the foot.
- Swelling or inflammation in the foot or ankle.
- A lump or swelling that you can feel in your foot.
- Difficulty walking or bearing weight on your foot.
- A history of injury to the foot.
- Suspected tendonitis or ligament sprain.
- Discomfort after starting a new activity or exercise.
What can an Ultrasound Foot Left detect?
Ultrasound is highly effective in detecting:
- The appearance and integrity of tendons, checking for inflammation or tears.
- Ligamentous structures and any signs of strain or damage.
- The presence of fluid collections or swelling within or around the joints.
- Assessment of soft tissue masses or lumps.
- Changes within the joints that may relate to conditions like arthritis.
- Potential nerve entrapment or irritation.
- The appearance of plantar fasciitis (heel pain).
Preparing for your Ultrasound Foot Left
On the day of your scan:
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to your left foot and ankle.
- No special fasting is required for this type of scan.
- You do not need to have a full bladder for a foot ultrasound.
Please notify the team if:
- If you have any broken skin, infection, or an open wound over the area to be scanned.
- If you have a known latex allergy.
- If you are pregnant (though not directly relevant for a foot scan, it's a general safety question for ultrasound).

Frequently asked questions
Is an ultrasound safe for my foot?
Yes, ultrasound uses harmless high-frequency sound waves and no ionising radiation, making it a safe imaging technique for assessing your left foot.
What happens during a left foot ultrasound?
A small probe will be moved over your left foot after a warm, clear gel is applied to the skin. The probe sends sound waves into your body, and the returning echoes create images on a screen, which are interpreted by a Consultant Radiologist.
How long does the scan take?
Typically, an ultrasound of the left foot takes around 20-30 minutes to complete.
When will I get my results?
Your scan images will be reviewed by a UK-certified Consultant Radiologist, and a detailed report will be available to you via your secure online portal within 72 hours. You can choose to share this report with your GP.
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.

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.
