What is an MRI Scan?
MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging, which is a way of taking pictures inside the body using strong magnetic fields and radio waves. An MRI scan is a safe, painless and non-invasive procedure which captures high-quality images of inside the body. MRI scans are widely used to view the joints, muscles, nerves, bone marrow, blood vessels and other body structures.
During your scan, you’ll normally lie on a table that slides through a large tunnel containing the magnets that form the images. There’s also an option to use an upright or open scanner if you have mobility or anxiety issues.
It's suitable for every part of your body, including bones, soft tissues and the brain, and is one of the most advanced imaging techniques used to date.
Why Have an MRI Scan?
If you’re experiencing symptoms, or you have doubts about some aspect of your health, a scan could provide reassurance that all is well. If there’s a problem, early diagnosis could help ensure you get the best care possible.
At Vista Health we offer full-body scans, which can provide a ‘big picture’ view of the health of your body. But if you have any pain, identifiable symptoms, or another reason to worry about a specific condition, a focused scan of a particular body part may be all that’s needed.

FAQs
Your questions answered
If you’re about to begin a healthcare journey including MRI scans, you’re likely to have a few questions. We’ve tried to answer the most common queries here - but if you don’t find what you’re looking for, you can always ask one of our friendly Patient Care Advisors.
Can you help me understand my results?
If you’d like to discuss your scan results with one of our GPs, you can arrange a consultation. There’s a 20% discount on consultation fees if you book when you arrange your scan.
Can I refer myself?
We accept self-referral in most cases. Self-referral allows you to take control of your own health with direct access to our own specialist diagnostic services. We also offer a GP consultation service to provide you with a referral if you need one.
What if I need an open or upright scanner?
For some patients - including those with restricted mobility, anxiety and people with claustrophobia - the standard ‘tunnel-style’ MRI scanner may be challenging. An alternative is the open and upright scanner, which can be more comfortable for some patients. This provides comfort and reassurance, and offers a variety of scanning positions including sitting, standing, leaning, and lying.
What body part can I have scanned?
We offer a range of MRI scans to assist you in obtaining the diagnosis you require.
How long does an MRI scan take?
Most scans take between 20 and 40 minutes, depending on the size of the area we’re investigating. Please arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment.
How much will an MRI scan cost?
Our MRI scans start from £249. The fee includes a full written report within 3 working days, and access to your images online to view, download or share with a medical professional such as your GP. When you book online, you’ll have the option to spread the cost over three months, interest free.
How soon can I have my MRI scan?
With MRI facilities across the UK, we can offer scans at short notice. We work evenings, weekends and bank holidays.
