What the Radiologist Looks For

  • Forearm and upper arm studies — muscle tears, tendon injuries, and masses
  • Finger and thumb studies — ligament and tendon injuries
  • Less common upper-extremity protocols ordered by your provider
  • Follow-up imaging after arm or hand surgery

Who Orders This

Ordered most often for hand and arm injuries that X-ray or ultrasound could not fully characterize — tendon and ligament tears, unexplained pain, and soft-tissue lumps.

Hospital MRIs typically cost $1,500+ — ours is a flat $399.

One flat price that covers everything, including the scan, the radiologist's read, and your images. No facility fee, no separate bill.
