An MRI scan of your leg joint is a painless imaging test that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed pictures of the structures inside your knee, ankle, hip, or other leg joint. Your doctor might recommend this scan to investigate joint pain, swelling, injury, or other problems that can't be clearly seen on regular X-rays. During the procedure, you'll lie still on a table that slides into a large tube-shaped machine for 20-45 minutes while it takes images, and you may hear loud humming or knocking sounds.
