Book an imaging and radiology appointment Without The Wait
NHS imaging waits are among the longest in the system, and a scan you are waiting months for is often the only thing standing between you and an answer. Private imaging removes that wait.
You do not need an existing referral. A GP assesses you, decides which scan will actually answer the question, and refers you to a partner imaging facility. That assessment matters more than it sounds: the wrong scan is an expensive way to learn nothing, and choosing between an ultrasound, an MRI and a CT depends entirely on what is being looked for. When the report comes back, a doctor goes through it with you and arranges whatever follows, whether that is treatment, a specialist referral or reassurance.

Which scan for WHICH PROBLEM
Ultrasound
No radiation, good for soft tissue, abdomen, pelvis, thyroid, testes, and for looking at tendons and joints dynamically. Usually, the first choice where it can answer the question, since it is cheaper and quicker.
X Ray
Fast and inexpensive, best for bones, chest and suspected fractures. Uses ionising radiation. Available via our partner radiology facility.
MRI
No radiation, the most detailed view of soft tissue, discs, ligaments, cartilage, brain, and spinal cord. The usual choice for persistent joint, back, or neurological symptoms. Takes longer and costs more.
CT
Fast and detailed, strong for chest, abdomen, complex fractures, and acute problems. Uses a higher radiation dose than X-ray, so it is chosen where that is justified by what is being looked for.
More imaging is not automatically better. Scans of people without symptoms find incidental abnormalities that turn out to be harmless, and chasing them causes anxiety and further tests. Part of what the consultation is for is deciding whether a scan will genuinely answer your question.
Imaging and radiology vs NHS: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?
| Private Imaging | NHS Imaging | |
|---|---|---|
| Referral | We provide it, no NHS referral needed | GP or hospital referral required |
| Waiting time | Same Day appointment | Often weeks to months, longer for MRI in many areas |
| Choice of timing | You choose your appointment | Allocated |
| Report turnaround | 24-72 hours. | Varies |
| Results explanation | Consultation with a doctor | Via the referring clinician |
| Insurance claims | Accepted, subject to your policy | Not applicable |
| Results explanation | Doctor consultation | Letter, with GP follow up if needed |
| Colposcopy if needed | Referral arranged | Within the NHS pathway |
| Cost | To obtain an accurate price estimate Contact 0208 050 0379 or email us at hello@privatemedicalclinic.co.uk. | Free at point of use |
Clinical quality is not the difference here. NHS imaging and reporting are of a high standard, and the same radiologists often work in both. What you are paying for is time.

Usually, with a GP referral, subject to your policy. Check with your insurer before booking.
With your consent, yes, and we would encourage it.
A CT scan provides detailed cross-sectional images and is used to diagnose:
- Brain conditions (strokes, tumors)
- Lung diseases and infections
- Abdominal issues such as kidney stones
- Cancer screening and staging
- Cardiovascular diseases
An ultrasound scan is used to assess:
- regnthat ancy and fetal development
- Abdominal organs (liver, kidneys, gallbladder)
- Pelvic health (ovaries, uterus, prostate)
- Thyroid and neck conditions
Share the result. We recommend you do, so your NHS invitations stay correct.
You can, but we will be honest with you about it. Whole body screening scans in people without symptoms frequently find harmless abnormalities that lead to further tests and worry, and UK guidance does not support them as routine screening.
X ray and CT use ionising radiation. Ultrasound and MRI do not. Where a radiation dose is involved, your doctor will explain why that scan is justified.
A full-body MRI scan is best for soft tissues, muscles, and brain imaging.
A full-body CT scan provides detailed cross-sectional images of bones, organs, and internal structures.
Our specialists will advise you on the best option based on your health concerns.A MRI scan is useful for diagnosing:
- Brain tumors and neurological disorders
- Spinal disc problems
- Joint and ligament injuries
- Soft tissue abnormalities
- Internal organ diseases
Yes, if required, we can schedule multiple scans (X-ray, MRI, CT, ultrasound) on the same day for your convenience.
