NHS vs Private MRI Scans: What’s the Difference?

With GetScanned, you can bypass NHS delays and take control of your health.

The MRI scan is often required for urgent diagnosis. NHS access is limited by scanner availability:

  • -In January 2025, 6% of patients waited longer than six weeks for an MRI
  • -The median wait time for diagnostic tests (including MRI) was 2.6 weeks in November 2024
  • -Some hospitals still report waits of 6 to 18 weeks
  • -The UK has only 8.6 MRI scanners per million people, compared with the EU average of 12.4

What is a MRI scan?

An MRI is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed body images. The duration of the scan varies depending on the body part being scanned and if contrast dye is added, but typically ranges from 15 to 90 minutes.

Is an MRI safe?

Yes, MRIs are safe as they do not use any radiation. However, they are not recommended for patients with certain implants or metal fittings. MRIs are typically avoided in the first trimester of pregnancy unless necessary. 

What a MRI scan can tell you (by body part)

MRI scans provide a safe and comprehensive diagnostic tool. The availability of different scan types ensures you can receive the most accurate and relevant information for your health condition.
