What is an MRI scan?
MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. MRIs are safe and completely painless; they use a magnetic field and radio waves to help your doctor make a diagnosis by building up a detailed picture of the inside of your body.
Many clinicians prefer MRI scans to other scan types because they provide a wealth of information without the involvement of radiation and can be used to investigate almost any part of the body.
Our scanners
Our MRI scanners are situated in spacious air-conditioned rooms. The machine itself is a tube-shaped magnet that is open at both ends.
We use a 1.5T scanner at our clinic on Wimpole Street and 3T scanners at our locations on Dover Street and Harley Street. For more information see our blog on 1.5T vs 3T MRI machines.
