Ankle pain or injury can make it tough to stay active, whether it’s walking, running, or playing sports. A TaylorMed MRI ankle scan gives a detailed look inside the joint so you and your doctor can find out what’s causing the problem.

What to Expect During an Ankle MRI
Preparation
Before your scan you’ll need to remove jewelry, piercings, or anything metal. For your safety, our team will provide scrubs for you to wear during your appointment. This precaution ensures that any clothing containing metallic fibers, like silver or copper found in some activewear or moisture-wicking fabrics, doesn’t disrupt the equipment or imaging process.
Procedure
You’ll lie on the MRI table while your foot and ankle are positioned inside a coil (camera) and then in the center of the scanner. Cushions or pads are placed to keep your ankle steady so the images come out clear.
Experience
The exam doesn’t cause pain. You’ll mainly notice the tapping or humming of the scanner, and earplugs or headphones are available for comfort.
Duration
An ankle MRI usually takes about 20 minutes.
