What is an Ultrasound Hand Right?
Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves — no radiation and no injections — to produce real-time images of soft tissues and organs.
An Ultrasound Hand Right allows your radiologist to examine:
- Tendons and their sheaths
- Ligaments
- Joints and the fluid within them
- Nerves, such as the median nerve
- Small blood vessels
- Soft tissues and any fluid collections
Ultrasound is safe, painless, and radiation-free — making it a first-line investigation for many conditions of the hand right.

Symptoms that may warrant an Ultrasound Hand Right
This scan may be advised if you are experiencing any of the following:
- Pain or discomfort in your right hand
- Swelling or stiffness in the hand or fingers
- A lump or swelling you can feel
- Numbness or tingling sensations
- Difficulty moving your fingers or hand
- Following an injury to the hand
- Suspected inflammation of the tendons (tendinopathy)
What can an Ultrasound Hand Right detect?
Ultrasound is highly effective in detecting:
- The appearance of tendons, looking for inflammation or tears
- Fluid build-up within or around the joints
- Changes in the soft tissues
- The course and appearance of nerves
- Any abnormal growths or masses in the soft tissues
- Signs of inflammation in the joints or tendon sheaths

Frequently asked questions
How long does an ultrasound of the right hand take?
The scan itself typically takes around 15-20 minutes, though your appointment may be slightly longer to allow for preparation and discussion.
Will I get my results straight away?
Your images will be reviewed by a UK-certified Consultant Radiologist. A detailed report will be available via your secure online patient portal, usually within 72 hours. You can then share this with your GP or referring clinician.
Is the ultrasound scan painful?
No, ultrasound is a painless procedure. A warm gel is applied to your skin, and a small probe is moved over the area. You may feel slight pressure, but it should not be uncomfortable.
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.
