Knee, shoulder and joint MRI.

When an injury isn't settling, an MRI shows ligaments, tendons, cartilage and bone in detail, so you know what you are dealing with and how to get back to sport, work or everyday life.

Many joint scans take around 20 to 30 minutes, and for knee, ankle and foot scans you usually go into the scanner feet first, with your head outside.

After the scan

Your GP explains the report and agrees a plan with you. That might be physiotherapy, a sports medicine or orthopaedic opinion, or simply reassurance that you can return to activity safely. Our team includes an advanced practice physiotherapist and MSK sonographer.
