Below, you can find answers to some common questions on booking a private MRI scan in London.
Patient safety is our priority. Before your scan, we carry out a detailed safety screening to identify any implants, medical devices, or conditions that may make an MRI unsuitable. Our team follows strict MRI safety procedures, and all scans are conducted by trained professionals in a controlled clinical environment. Clear instructions are provided before and during the scan to ensure your comfort and safety at all times.
We use modern MRI scanners designed to produce high-quality images while maximising patient comfort. The exact scanner used will depend on the type of scan required, but all equipment meets current clinical and safety standards to ensure accurate diagnostic imaging.
In most cases, little preparation is needed. You may be asked to complete a safety questionnaire before your scan and provide details of any medical history or implants. For certain scans, you may receive specific instructions in advance, such as avoiding food or drink for a short period. Our team will let you know if any preparation is required when your appointment is confirmed.
You should wear comfortable clothing without metal fastenings, such as zips, buttons, or underwire. Jewellery, watches, and other metal items will need to be removed before the scan. If needed, you may be asked to change into a gown to ensure the scan can be carried out safely.
Our clinic is located at 6 Liddell Road, London NW6 2ET, making it easily accessible for patients across London. Full directions and access details can be provided when you book your appointment.
MRI scans and CT scans are both imaging tests, but they work in different ways. MRI scans use magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of soft tissues, joints, and organs, without using radiation. CT scans use X-rays and are often quicker, making them useful for examining bones, lungs, or internal bleeding. The most suitable scan depends on your symptoms and clinical needs.
