What does an MRI involve?

Before arriving at the centre

 

You will receive an email confirmation of your booking.  If you have any questions about the scan, you can phone our friendly team in advance.  If we need to speak to you about the type of scan you have booked, we will get in touch

Before the scan

 

There is free parking at the centre, or we are a very short walk from the train station.  Our team will greet you at reception, and offer you a drink while you wait.

You will then be called into your own private dressing room where our staff will explain the procedure and go through some safety questions.  If you need to change, a gown will be provided.

If you need intravenous contrast for the scan, a cannula will be put in the vein.

During the scan

 

The scan takes approximately 20 minutes. It may take longer.  Different types of short scans will be performed showing the brain in different ways. 

There will be some loud noises during the scan including banging noises, which is normal.  We will provide ear plugs or earphones with music.

Our scanner has a slightly larger bore which can reduce claustrophobia.  For some scans, we can show a video within the scanner with images designed to encourage relaxation.

Try to keep still.  This will mean that the images that the radiologist looks at will be at their best.  It will also mean that the scan time will be kept short as we will not have to repeat the scans.

After the scan

 

You will be taken back to your dressing room and any instructions for care after the scan will be given.  If you had contrast, you will be asked to wait a short while before your cannula is removed.

The scan will be looked at by a specialist radiologist within three days of your scan.  They will write a report which will describe the findings on the scan and they will give a conclusion which will summarise the findings and offer any suggestions for your next steps.

If you would like, you can book a virtual consultation with the radiologist who can explain the report to you and show you the pictures.

How Much Does an MRI cost?

A single region MRI scan costs £350.

Most diagnoses can be made without contrast. If the radiologist feels that you might benefit from contrast when they look at the scan, we can call you back. There is no additional cost for contrast.
