Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the thigh – a precise examination for identifying muscle injuries and pain
MRI of the thigh is a safe and painless examination that provides detailed information about the muscles, tendons, nerves, blood vessels, and bones of the thigh. It is the best method for determining the exact cause of thigh pain, muscle injuries, tears, or stress-related problems.
The examination does not involve radiation, so it is also suitable for young people, athletes, and repeated monitoring.

When is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the calf and lower leg necessary?
Pain in the lower leg and calf can be caused by many different reasons, such as stress injuries, muscle strains, vascular problems, or nerve compression. Magnetic resonance imaging provides an accurate picture of the nature and extent of the injury, which is crucial for determining the right treatment.
Typical reasons for magnetic resonance imaging of the calf and lower leg:
- Recurrent or prolonged pain in the lower leg and calf
- Muscle strain, tear, or suspected tear
- Stress injury (e.g., stress fracture of the tibia)
- Unclear swelling or hematoma
- Determining the cause of nerve compression or numbness
- Sports injury or pain due to excessive strain
- Accurate diagnosis prior to surgery or rehabilitation
Magnetic resonance imaging is particularly useful for active people and athletes, for whom accurate diagnosis of injuries is important for fast and safe rehabilitation.
How to prepare for the examination
Magnetic resonance imaging of the calf and lower leg does not require any special preparation. You can eat and drink normally. During the examination, the area must be free of metal objects and tight clothing.
If you have metal implants in your leg or elsewhere in your body, always report them in advance – the examination can usually be performed safely after an individual assessment.
How is magnetic resonance imaging of the calf and lower leg performed?
The examination is performed in a lying position. The leg to be scanned is placed firmly in position so that it remains completely still during the examination. During the MRI scan, the device makes a tapping sound, but you will be given earplugs or headphones if necessary.
The examination takes about 20–30 minutes. It is important to remain still in order to obtain accurate images.
Results and follow-up measures
The images are analyzed by a radiologist, who prepares a written report on the findings. You will receive the results within a few business days, and they can also be sent directly to your treating physician or physical therapist.
Magnetic resonance imaging of the calf and lower leg helps identify the exact cause of pain and injuries, which speeds up the start of proper treatment and rehabilitation.
