We have been scanning
patients since 1992 with our MRI imaging service. We
are accredited to ISO9001:2000 for the quality of service
that we offer to our patients.
We believe we were
the first UK independent provider to bring MRI examination
charges below £200 at a time when the average
cost for a private scan was around £600, thus
we have helped drive down MRI charges for patients.
Now our charges of £218 for a one-part scan and
£366 for a two part scan, on the most advanced
equipment, are still amongst the lowest in the country.
All our scanners are
of the highest specification and are regularly updated
to keep up with technical advancement. Our 1.0 Tesla
Open MRI is the first in the UK, our 3.0 Tesla MRI is
one of a very few number of high field machines providing
a full-time clinical service in the UK. Our 1.5 Tesla
Intera & Achieva scanners are fully equipped to
ensure we can take the best pictures for any appropriate
examination.
All our experienced
MRI Radiographers undertake documented CPD (Continuous
Professional Development), attending regular courses,
professional meetings and symposiums to keep up to date
with scanning advances and techniques. Our disease specific
& specialist Consultant Radiologists are all UK
NHS based and work closely with our Radiographers, your
scan is carried out under their directions.
 After
the scan you will be able to leave with your scan pictures,
in a heavy duty envelope, so that these are immediately
available to your referrer when you return to them for
your results. This ensures there are no delays to your
follow-up treatment plan through loss or postage delays.
We will then forward a detailed report from a specialist
disease specific Consultant Radiologist to your referrer.
If
you or your referrer requests we can also provide your
images on a CD with a dicom viewer installed, to look
at and manipulate all the images. This requires ActiveX
during playback, so the PC which you view the images
on must be connected to the internet at the time of
loading. This additional service is available for an
extra £22 at the time of your scan, or plus postage
afterwards.
