What can you expect during your appointment? 

Your Whole body MRI scan at Oryon Imaging is designed to be a smooth and efficient process: 

Initial consultation: your referring clinician should provide a consultation to deem whether it’s appropriate for you to have a scan. This may include, but is not limited to, your family and medical history and other relevant assessments. They should also communicate the advantages and disadvantages to help you make an informed decision. 

If you’re a patient and you don’t have a referral, we can connect you with one of our GPs.  If you’re a clinician and you’re looking to refer a patient, please download our referral form and email the referral to our team. 

Arrival and check-in: your appointment takes place at our conveniently located Dover Street clinic in Central London. The entire visit, from check-in to departure, will take about two hours. 

The scan: the MRI scan itself lasts 80-100 minutes, during which you’ll lay comfortably while the machine captures detailed images of your body. 

Follow-up consultation: in three working days, your report will be shared with the referring clinician who will discuss the results with you.
