The hand is composed of numerous small bones, joints, tendons, muscles, and nerves that together enable fine motor control, grip strength, and force transmission. This intricate anatomy means that even minor injuries or inflammation can significantly impact daily function and work capacity.

With a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the hand, highly detailed images of the internal structures can be obtained – including bones, soft tissues, cartilage, tendons, blood vessels, and nerves. The examination is completely radiation-free and often provides more accurate diagnostic information than both X-ray and ultrasound for many conditions affecting the bones and soft tissues of the hand.

Hand MRI is especially useful for complex or unclear pain, post-traumatic evaluation, suspected tissue damage, or in the assessment of rheumatic or inflammatory diseases. The procedure is painless, takes approximately 20–30 minutes, and requires no referral – you can book directly.

When is an MRI of the Hand Recommended?

Pain or stiffness in the hand can be caused by a variety of conditions – ranging from minor fractures and tendon injuries to joint inflammation, nerve entrapment, or tumor-like lesions. MRI is primarily used when there is a need to visualize structures not adequately seen on conventional X-ray or ultrasound. You may consider a hand MRI if you are experiencing:

  • Localized painful lumps or swelling in the hand – suggestive of a ganglion cyst, tumor, or other mass.
  • Reduced finger function or inability to flex or extend – which may indicate tendon injury or rupture.
  • Persistent, unexplained hand pain – especially when other examinations have not provided a diagnosis.
  • Suspected fracture or stress fracture – not visible on standard X-ray.
  • Inflammatory conditions – such as rheumatoid arthritis or psoriatic arthritis involving small joints.
  • Nerve-related symptoms in one or more fingers – such as numbness, tingling, or weakness.

MRI is often the best choice when a definitive diagnosis is needed or when evaluating the extent of an injury prior to treatment or surgery.

Common Indications for Hand MRI

  • Tendon ruptures and soft tissue injuries – e.g., after trauma or suspected tears in flexor or extensor tendons.
  • Ganglion or other cystic lesions – MRI determines size, location, and relation to adjacent structures.
  • Tumors or tumor-like processes – including both benign and malignant lesions in bone or soft tissue.
  • Joint inflammation (synovitis) – commonly seen in rheumatic diseases; MRI reveals joint fluid, swelling, and tissue changes.
  • Arthritis or erosions – especially in small joints affected by RA, psoriatic arthritis, or SLE.
  • Fractures – including microfractures or stress fractures that may not be visible on standard radiographs.
  • Vascular abnormalities – such as vessel malformations or hemangiomas within soft tissues.
  • Post-traumatic changes or functional impairment – MRI provides a complete evaluation after injury.

Book an MRI of the Hand

Hand MRI is a highly advanced imaging modality that enables precise and reliable diagnosis of hand conditions. It is used both for acute injuries and for chronic, unexplained symptoms that have not been clarified by previous evaluations. The scan takes about 20–30 minutes, is entirely painless, and does not involve radiation

After your order, we will send a referral for your MRI scan. Before that, you will have a brief consultation with a referring physician who will review your medical history and symptoms. After the consultation, your referral will be forwarded to the radiology clinic.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a safe method for obtaining detailed images of the body's organs, tissues, and joints using a strong magnetic field and radio waves – completely without radiation.

Things to consider before the examination:

  • Clothing and items: You will be asked to remove clothing with metal, jewelry, watches, hearing aids, and other items that may be affected by the magnetic field.
  • Metal in the body: Inform the medical staff if you have a pacemaker, implants, metal clips, artificial joints, or other metal objects in your body.
  • Pregnancy: Notify the staff if you are pregnant or suspect that you might be.
  • Contrast agent: In some cases, a contrast agent is used to enhance image quality. You will be informed about any preparations or possible side effects if applicable.

After your MRI scan is completed, the images are reviewed by a specialist in radiology. The radiologist interprets the images based on the clinical question stated in your referral and prepares a medical report for the referring physician.

The referring physician from our team will then review the report and provide you with a written medical assessment and guidance.

If the examination reveals any abnormalities or findings, we will ensure that you are either referred to an appropriate healthcare provider or receive advice on suitable follow-up – all of this is included in the price.
