Knee MRI (1.5T)

1.5T MRI of a single knee joint evaluating menisci, cruciate and collateral ligaments, articular cartilage, and bone marrow. No referral required for self-pay patients.

The knee MRI at Újbuda uses the GE Creator 1.5T to provide comprehensive assessment of all knee structures. The protocol includes sagittal proton-density weighted images for meniscal evaluation, coronal sequences for collateral ligaments, and axial images for the patellofemoral compartment. At 49,500 HUF (approximately €125), Budapest offers some of the most competitive knee MRI pricing in Central Europe. The 1.5T field strength provides reliable detection of meniscal tears, cruciate ligament injuries, cartilage defects, and bone marrow oedema. The GE Creator's image quality supports confident diagnosis for surgical decision-making. The open 0.4T scanner is also available at a lower price point for patients who are claustrophobic, though the 1.5T provides superior detail for complex meniscal and ligament evaluation. Weekend appointments can be arranged with an additional surcharge.
