Magnetic Resonance Imaging is an advanced diagnostic technique that uses a very strong magnetic field and radio waves to provide cross-sectional images of internal organs and body tissues.
MRI does not use ionising radiation and therefore has none of the potentially harmful side-effects of x-rays. MRI is an extremely versatile technique and can produce clear diagnostic images in virtually all areas of the body.
The MR Therapy Centre is able to offer all forms of diagnostic MRI scanning to private patients, including neurological and orthopaedic scans, a full range of body imaging, MR angiography, breast MR and diffusion imaging. All scans are reported by Consultant Radiologists who have substantive contracts with Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, and other prestigious London teaching hospitals.
Your scan will always be reported by someone with specific expertise in the specialist area. MRI requires highly specialised equipment and specialist staff. Our technical staff are state registered senior radiographers with significant MRI experience and access to ongoing training.
