What is a Thigh 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 thigh MRI scan provides a detailed view of the complex structures within the upper leg, including:

Muscles: The quadriceps, hamstrings, and adductors
Bones: The femur (thigh bone)
Soft Tissues: Tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and nerves

What Can a Thigh MRI Scan Detect?

The detailed images from your scan will allow our consultant radiologists to detect any damage or abnormalities. A thigh MRI can help diagnose a wide range of conditions, including:

Muscle or tendon strain and tears
Ligament tears
Bone fractures or bruises
Iliotibial band syndrome
Compartment syndrome
Bone tumours
Inflammatory conditions

With a detailed report on the cause of your upper-leg pain, your physician will be able to plan and prescribe the most appropriate treatment to get you back to health.

What Can a Hand or Wrist MRI Scan Detect?

The detailed images from your scan will allow our consultant radiologists to detect a wide range of issues. The specific conditions that can be diagnosed depend on the area being scanned:

Wrist Scan: Injuries from impacts or repetitive stress, arthritis, ganglion cysts, Kienbock’s disease, and the severity of carpal tunnel syndrome.
Palm Scan: Fractures, inflammation, ligament tears, and nerve damage.
Thumb or Finger Scan: Fractures, osteoarthritis, and tendinitis.

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 thigh 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.
