Medical Imaging
No referral is needed, and a consultant radiologist reports every scan within 24 to 48 hours
3T MRI, 128-slice CT, ultrasound, X-ray and DEXA. Appointments are often available within 48 hours, and the report is sent to you and your doctor.
For a specific concern
Imaging of a particular area, a knee, the spine, the brain, the abdomen, often following a symptom, an injury or a specialist’s request.
The appropriate scan is confirmed with a physician before you attend.
For a complete picture
Whole-body MRI and screening imaging to establish a baseline and look for early signs of conditions before symptoms appear.
Knowing without any radiation or contrast, no referral needed.
Aneurysms, early-stage tumours, and neurodegenerative and vascular changes can progress for years while a person feels entirely well.
High-field MRI is one of the few ways to resolve them early, when intervention is most effective. A whole-body MRI examines the brain, spine, chest, abdomen and pelvis in a single 60-minute appointment, without radiation or contrast, and can resolve lesions and aneurysms at a scale of a few millimetres.
For many cancers, five-year survival is several times higher when the disease is found early and still localised, compared with the same cancer found after it has spread.
Whole-body screening on a high-field 3T scanner covers the major organ systems in roughly 60 minutes, with no ionising radiation and no contrast injection.
Whole-body MRI is a screening study, not a diagnosis. It does not replace mammography, colonoscopy or dedicated cardiac imaging, and a physician advises where those remain necessary.
High-field and low-dose equipment across all locations, each study reported by a sub-specialist consultant radiologist. Specific availability is confirmed at booking.
High-field 3T imaging of soft tissue, brain, spine, joints and organs, with wide-bore scanners for comfort and silent-scan sequences. Contrast used only where clinically indicated. The standard for neurological, musculoskeletal and abdominal assessment.
128-slice imaging of the chest, abdomen, bone and vascular system with low-dose protocols as standard. Cardiac CT, calcium scoring and CT angiography available, with sub-millimetre resolution and 3D reconstruction.
A quick low-dose CT of the heart that measures calcium in the coronary arteries, used to see how much plaque has built up before any symptoms appear. Reported by a consultant radiologist.
Real-time imaging for the abdomen, pelvis, musculoskeletal and vascular studies, and pregnancy. Colour Doppler, elastography and ultrasound-guided injections available.
Digital radiography for bones, chest and spine, with images available immediately. Weight-bearing views available where required.
The reference standard for bone-density measurement, used for osteoporosis screening, fracture-risk scoring and body-composition and visceral-fat analysis.
2D and 3D cardiac ultrasound with colour Doppler to assess heart function, structure and valves. Stress echo available. Reported by a consultant cardiologist.
Digital mammography with 3D tomosynthesis, reported by a sub-specialist breast radiologist, with breast ultrasound available alongside.
3T whole-body screening from brain to pelvis for early detection and a lifelong baseline. Reviewed by a consultant radiologist, with a physician consultation to discuss findings included.
Every scan at The Wellness is reported by a trained consultant radiologist who sub-specialises in the relevant area: neuroradiology for the brain, musculoskeletal for joints, body imaging for the abdomen.
They read the full study, produce a detailed written report, and escalate any urgent finding the same day. The report is sent to you and, where you wish, to your doctor or specialist. Where a finding warrants it, a physician consultation is arranged to explain it and explore any follow-up scans or treatment.
"I’d had shoulder pain for months and my physio thought it was a rotator cuff tear. Booked the MRI on a Tuesday, scanned Thursday, and the report was with my surgeon by Friday morning, more detail than he’d expected, down to the exact tendon. We skipped a step and went straight to planning surgery. I’d assumed private imaging was just faster. It was also better read."
Choose a scan, or describe the concern and a clinician confirms the appropriate one.
The scan is performed by a specialist radiographer. Most take 15 to 60 minutes.
A consultant radiologist reads the images and produces a detailed written report.
Your report is issued within 24 to 48 hours of the scan and sent to your doctor. A physician consultation is arranged where a finding needs discussion.
If you know which scan you need, you can book it directly and choose a time.
If you are not sure, speak to a member of our team and we will help you find the right imaging method for your situation. The process is physician-led from start to finish.
At The Wellness, every scan goes into your profile with your bloods, your notes and your earlier scans, so a radiologist reads it with your own history in front of them.
A small nodule seen once needs a second look. When the same nodule is unchanged across two years of imaging, it can usually be left alone. Your profile keeps every scan together, so a clinician can compare them and act early.
No. Scans can be booked directly, without a GP referral. For a specific symptom, a short consultation confirms the appropriate scan first, and a referral letter is included where one is needed for onward care.
Same-week appointments are standard, and same-day is often possible for urgent cases. Your consultant radiologist report is issued within 24 to 48 hours of the scan. Urgent findings are escalated to you the same day.
MRI uses magnetic fields rather than radiation and is best for soft tissue, brain, spine and joints. CT is faster, uses low-dose radiation, and is well suited to the chest, bone and vascular system. A radiologist advises which is appropriate for your situation.
Yes. MRI uses no ionising radiation. It is not suitable for certain metal implants or pacemakers, so medical history is reviewed before every scan.
A whole-body MRI screens the major organ systems in a single appointment, without radiation or contrast, for early signs of conditions including certain cancers and aneurysms. It is a screening tool and does not replace dedicated tests such as mammography, colonoscopy or cardiac imaging.
A trained consultant radiologist in every case. The report is provided to you in full and, with your consent, sent to your doctor or specialist.
Wear comfortable clothing without metal. Some scans require fasting beforehand. Specific preparation instructions are provided at the time of booking.
Yes. Reports are provided in full and sent to your physician where you wish. A GP referral letter is included where one is required for onward care.
Urgent findings are communicated immediately. A physician consultation is arranged to explain the finding and the appropriate next step.
