Dan is correct... the correct preposition is "of", although I have heard 'on' used.

In the United States, we customarily use the initialism, MRI. Many people probably don't even know that it stands for "magnetic resonance imaging." I would say "I need to have an MRI of my knee."

I use an rather than a because "MRI," when spoken aloud, begins with a vowel sound.

I can't explain why I say "of my knee" when Richard suggests "on my knee." Both are possible.
