What is an Elbow MRI Scan?
An MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan is a safe, painless, and non-invasive procedure that uses powerful magnetic fields and radio waves to create high-quality, cross-sectional images of the inside of your body. Unlike X-rays, MRI scans do not use potentially harmful radiation.
An elbow MRI scan provides a detailed view of the complex structures within your elbow, including:
Bones
Muscles
Tendons and ligaments
Cartilage
Nerves and other soft tissues
When Should I Consider an Elbow MRI Scan?
You should consider a private elbow MRI scan if you have been experiencing problems that have lasted for more than a few weeks. Symptoms that might indicate the need for a scan include:
Persistent joint pain
Recurring muscle pain
Decreased mobility or range of motion
Unexplained swelling or inflammation
Pain following a sports injury
What Can an Elbow MRI Scan Detect?
The detailed images from your scan will allow our consultant radiologists to detect damage to tissues and bones, as well as abnormal growths. A private elbow MRI scan can help diagnose a range of conditions, such as:
Bone fractures
Ligament tears
Nerve damage or compression
Inflammation
Dislocation
Osteoarthritis
Tumours
The results of your scan will provide your physician with the crucial information needed to make an informed diagnosis and recommend the most appropriate treatment
Preparing for Your Scan
Our Patient Care Team will ensure you are fully prepared for your appointment. Please inform us about your medical history, especially if you have any implants or conditions that might affect the scan, such as pacemakers, cochlear implants, artificial joints, or if you are pregnant or claustrophobic.
An elbow MRI scan takes approximately 40 minutes. We ask that you arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment to check in. You will be asked to remove any metal objects or jewellery and may be given a gown to wear.
Our Private Elbow MRI Scan Packages
We offer three flexible and affordable packages. All our prices include a full report from a consultant radiologist and access to all your scan images, which you will receive within three working days.
