A quick and efficient service – I was seen on the same day as I was contacted. Everyone I dealt with was extremely pleasant.

Private Patient, Cardiac MRI, Wythenshawe

I was sent to the Harley Street clinic for an open MRI because of my phobia of confined spaces.

The Radiographer was very reassuring, and I was kept informed throughout the whole process.

I was there for almost 2 hours and felt comfortable and safe. Thank you and God bless to the Harley Street Team.

Private patient, MRI, London Harley Street

I am really happy with the service provided. I was looked after very well and felt really comfortable throughout the process.

The staff were helpful, friendly and professional. I was not rushed and given time to prepare/collect my things.

The scan itself was pleasant. I could listen to music and relax. I am really pleased I was referred to this centre and highly recommend to others.

MRI FAQ

What is an MRI scan?

An MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan is a medical imaging technique that uses a powerful magnet and radio waves to generate detailed images of the inside of the body.

How do I book a private MRI scan?

You can book your private MRI scan with Alliance Medical by completing our scan request form or by contacting our dedicated booking team on 0345 646 1536.

How much does a private MRI scan cost?

The cost of a private MRI scan can vary depending on what part of the body is being scanned and if scans are required on multiple parts of the body. Our team will provide transparent pricing information before they book your appointment. You can self-pay, or you may also check with your insurance provider for coverage details.

How long does it take to get the results of the MRI scan?

The turnaround time for MRI scan results varies, but we strive to provide timely results within 24-48 hours. Your referrer/GP will discuss the findings with you as soon as they are available.

What should I wear for the MRI scan?

Wear comfortable clothing without any metal objects, such as zips or buttons. In some cases, you may be asked to wear a gown.

How long does the MRI scan procedure take?

The duration of an MRI scan can vary, but most scans take between 15 minutes to 1 hour, depending on body part.

What is an Open Upright MRI scan?

An Open Upright MRI scanner allows the patient to sit, stand or lie down during their scan. Our Open Upright MRI scanners are available at a select number of our centres and feature a completely open top and sides, making it an ideal choice for claustrophobic patients. However, they are not as strong as other MRI scanners, so not suitable for scanning all areas of the body. Request your Open MRI scan here.

Is it safe to have an MRI if I have metal implants or devices?

In most cases, having metal implants or devices is not a problem, but it's important to inform our team of any metal in your body beforehand. Some conditions may require special considerations.

Why book a private MRI scan?

Private MRI scans offer quick access to imaging services, allowing you to receive diagnostic information promptly, which can be crucial for certain medical conditions.

Is a referral required for a private MRI scan?

In most cases, a referral from a healthcare professional is needed for a private MRI scan.

Can I use health insurance for a private MRI scan?

Some health insurance plans may cover private MRI scans. We recommend checking with your insurance provider to determine coverage and reimbursement details.

Are the results of the MRI scan shared with my primary care physician?

Yes, the results of your MRI scan will be shared with your referrer/GP who referred you. This ensures continuity of care, and they will discuss the findings and any necessary follow-up steps with you.

Are there any specific preparations required before the MRI scan?

Depending on the type of MRI scan there may be specific preparation instructions, such as fasting or avoiding certain medications. Our team will provide detailed information ahead of your appointment in your appointment letter.

What types of MRI scans are available?

We offer various types of MRI scans, including Closed MRI (the most common) in a range of strengths, Open Upright MRI and Cardiac MRI. We can scan a range of body parts, such as brain, spine, joint, and abdominal.

Can I bring someone with me to the MRI appointment?

Yes, you can bring a friend or family member with you. However, due to the magnetic field, they may need to stay in a designated waiting area during the actual scan.
