About wrist & hand MRI

A wrist and hand MRI captures the small bones, intricate ligaments, tendons, and cartilage of the wrist and hand with high spatial resolution. These structures are too small and complex for X-ray to assess fully, making MRI the investigation of choice for persistent wrist pain, suspected ligament injuries, and hand conditions that have not responded to initial treatment. In the US, a wrist MRI through insurance can cost $500-$2,000 out of pocket after deductibles. Mira offers this scan at $369 with no insurance needed and a board-certified radiologist report in 48 hours.

When is a wrist & hand MRI recommended?

Your doctor may refer you for an MRI if you are experiencing any of these symptoms or conditions. A physician referral is required for all Houston scans.

Wrist & Hand MRI questions

Yes. MRI can show swelling of the median nerve, thickening of the transverse carpal ligament, and other structural changes associated with carpal tunnel syndrome.

The triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) is a cartilage and ligament structure on the ulnar (pinky) side of the wrist. MRI is the best non-invasive method to detect tears in this area.

No. The $369 price covers everything. No insurance is billed.

Yes. A physician referral is needed in Texas. Upload it after scheduling.

Yes. Scaphoid fractures and other small carpal bone fractures are often invisible on initial X-rays. MRI can detect them through bone marrow edema before a fracture line appears on X-ray.

Most patients are scanned within a few days. Choose your preferred 3-hour window during booking.
