Knee MRI (Native)

MRI of a single knee joint evaluating menisci, cruciate and collateral ligaments, articular cartilage, and subchondral bone. No referral required for self-pay patients.

The knee MRI at Affidea uses standard orthopaedic imaging protocols to provide comprehensive evaluation of all knee structures. Sequences include sagittal proton-density weighted images for meniscal integrity, coronal images for collateral ligament assessment, and axial slices for the patellofemoral compartment and extensor mechanism. At 57,000 HUF (approximately EUR 145), Budapest offers highly competitive knee MRI pricing compared to Western European capitals where equivalent scans typically cost EUR 300-600. The imaging quality supports confident diagnosis for surgical decision-making, including meniscal tear classification, ACL and PCL injury grading, cartilage defect mapping, and bone marrow oedema patterns. No physician referral is required for self-pay patients. The examination takes approximately 25 minutes with results typically available within 1-2 working days.
