What is a hip MRI scan?

A hip MRI scan uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed advanced magnetic imaging to create highly detailed images of the hip joint, including bone, cartilage, ligaments, tendons and surrounding soft tissues.
A hip MRI scan is a safe, painless and non-invasive way to understand what’s happening inside your hip. It does not use radiation and is particularly useful for diagnosing joint or soft tissue problems that may not show clearly on X-ray.
During your private hip MRI scan, detailed cross-sectional images are captured to help identify the cause of symptoms such as pain, stiffness, reduced range of movement or discomfort during activity.

A hip MRI can clearly show:

  • The hip joint and surrounding bones
  • Cartilage
  • Labrum (on 3T scanner)
  • Tendons, ligaments and nearby soft tissues

Hear from our patients

My being claustrophobic was dealt with understanding, reassurance and pstience by the Oryon team who were very accommodating in taking the time to listen to my needs, address my questions and fears. I found all their staff, reception too very helpful and pleasant to speak with. . Making my MRI scan experience a pleasant rather than a fearful one. I would certainly be happy to use them again. Thank you all.
