Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a doctor's referral for a private MRI scan in the UK?
For most musculoskeletal complaints (such as knees, shoulders, hips, and spine), private scanning centres allow patients to self-refer without a prior GP consultation. Clinical vetting is carried out by the centre's in-house radiographers before appointment confirmation. Complex abdominal, cranial, or contrast scans may require clinician sign-off.
How much does a private scan typically cost?
Standard 1.5T single-part MRI scans in the UK typically range from £199 to £399 depending on clinic location and time of day (with off-peak evening/weekend slots often discounted). Upright Open MRI scans for claustrophobic patients range from £399 to £599, while private ultrasound scans start from £180.
How quickly will I receive my diagnostic report and scan images?
Digital DICOM imaging files are typically released on CD, USB, or secure online cloud access immediately following your examination. A comprehensive written medical report from a Consultant Radiologist is sent to you and your nominated healthcare professional within 24 to 48 hours.
