A private MRI scan is a medical imaging test that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the inside of the body, without the use of radiation. Choosing a private MRI allows you to access scanning services more quickly than standard NHS pathways, often without the need for a long wait or referral delays.
Private MRI scans are commonly used to investigate pain, injuries, neurological symptoms, and other health concerns. Results are reviewed by qualified radiologists, with reports provided to support discussions with your GP or specialist about next steps.
A private MRI scan can help investigate a wide range of medical conditions by producing detailed images of soft tissues, joints, organs, and the nervous system. It is often used when symptoms are ongoing, unexplained, or require clearer diagnostic insight.
A private MRI scan may help with:
Back and neck pain, including suspected disc problems, nerve compression, or spinal injuries
Joint and muscle injuries, such as knee, shoulder, hip, or ankle problems, including ligament and tendon damage
Sports-related injuries affecting soft tissues and joints
Neurological symptoms, including headaches, migraines, dizziness, seizures, or suspected brain or spinal cord conditions
Internal organ concerns, such as issues involving the liver, kidneys, pelvis, or abdomen
Tumour detection and monitoring, as well as identifying inflammation or structural abnormalities
A private MRI scan can be particularly valuable if you need fast access to diagnostic imaging, clearer answers about persistent symptoms, or detailed results to support further treatment or specialist referral.
Contact us directly or provide a referral from your GP or specialist. Our team will confirm whether a referral is needed and help you arrange the most appropriate scan.

The cost of a private MRI scan in London can vary depending on several factors, as no two scans are exactly the same. Pricing is influenced by the area of the body being scanned, whether one or multiple regions are required, and the complexity of the imaging needed.
Other factors that may affect the cost include the type of MRI scan, the location of the clinic, and whether a written radiology report is required as part of the service. In some cases, additional imaging sequences may be needed to ensure accurate results, which can also affect pricing.
Because of these variables, the most accurate way to determine the cost of a private MRI scan is to discuss your individual needs with our team. We will explain what is involved, confirm pricing in advance, and ensure there are no unexpected costs, allowing you to make an informed decision before booking.
In most cases, results from a private MRI scan are available within a few days of your appointment. The scan images are reviewed by a qualified radiologist, who prepares a detailed report outlining the findings.
Exact timings can vary depending on the type of scan and whether additional clinical review is required. Once the report is ready, it can be shared with you and, if requested, sent to your GP or referring specialist to support next steps in your care.
If you need results urgently, this can usually be discussed at the time of booking so expectations are clear from the outset.
In many cases, you do not need a GP or hospital referral to book a private MRI scan. Self-referrals are often accepted, allowing you to arrange a scan directly without waiting for an NHS appointment.
However, some scans may still require a referral or clinical information to ensure the scan is appropriate and safe. If you already have a referral from your GP, consultant, or another healthcare professional, this can help guide the scan and reporting.
If you are unsure whether a referral is needed, our team can advise you based on your symptoms and the type of scan you are considering.
If you’re looking for fast access to clear, reliable diagnostic imaging, we’re here to help. Booking a private MRI scan with us means shorter waiting times, professional reporting, and a straightforward process from enquiry to results.

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.
