What is a Hip 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 inside your body. It is a powerful diagnostic tool that does not use potentially harmful radiation.
A hip MRI scan provides a detailed view of the complex structures within your hip joint, including:
The top of the femur (thigh bone) and the pelvis socket area
Muscles and ligaments
Cartilage and tendons
Blood vessels and other soft tissues
When Should I Consider a Hip MRI Scan?
You should consider a private hip MRI scan if you are experiencing persistent symptoms that have not resolved with rest. These may include:
Pain in your hip or groin area
A noticeable limp
Swelling, tenderness, or inflammation around the hip joint
What Can a Hip MRI Scan Detect?
The detailed images from your scan will allow our consultant radiologists to detect damage to both tissues and bones. An MRI can help identify the cause of many different types of hip pain, including:
Bone fractures or bruises
Ligament or tendon tears
Muscle strains
Inflammation (bursitis)
Osteoarthritis
Infections or necrosis
Joint dislocation
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, artificial joints, or if you are pregnant or claustrophobic.
A hip MRI scan takes approximately 20 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 Hip 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.
