MRI of the Foot

MRI of the foot is a modern, highly informative diagnostic method that allows detailed visualization of bones, ligaments, tendons, muscles, nerves, and soft tissues in three-dimensional projection. The examination helps identify the smallest pathological changes that are often invisible on X-ray. Our clinic uses advanced, high-power MRI equipment that ensures maximum accuracy and complete safety.

How MRI of the Foot Is Performed

The patient lies on the MRI table. The foot is securely fixed to avoid movement and ensure clear imaging. The procedure lasts 20–30 minutes, is painless, and allows two-way communication with the radiology technician.
