Concierge imaging · London
Private full-body MRI in London, with honest advice, not just a report.
A broad, radiation-free overview of the body in one visit. We match you to a vetted London clinic, handle the booking, and - crucially - talk you through what a screen can and cannot tell you before you commit.
Why patients choose us
- 01
Honest advice first
We tell you whether a full-body screen is actually worth it for you - before you spend a penny.
- 02
Paid by no clinic
We take nothing from the centres we suggest, so the guidance stays impartial and free.
- 03
We stay for the findings
A screen often finds something. We are still here to explain it and arrange what is next.
Indicative pricing

The problem
A powerful screen - if you understand what it is.
A full-body MRI can catch significant problems early and involves no radiation. It also finds harmless things that lead to more tests, and it is not a guarantee. The honest conversation about that trade-off is exactly what a good concierge should give you. We do.
-
Is it right for you?
For some people a full-body screen is genuinely worthwhile; for others it causes more worry than benefit. We will say honestly which.
-
Which combination?
A standard screen, or with brain, prostate, pelvis or cardiac added - we match it to your age, history and goals.
-
What happens after?
We do not just hand over a report - we explain the findings and arrange any follow-up.
The journey
From enquiry to report - what happens, in order.
One clinician from first conversation to report and follow-up - usually within a week or two.

What it shows
Find the reason that matches your symptom.
A full-body screen covers a lot of ground - and comes with a real trade-off. Here is what it looks at, and the honest catch.
-
A head-to-pelvis overview
A broad look at the brain, spine, chest, abdomen and pelvis in a single visit.
-
Brain & spinal cord
Screens the brain and spinal cord for significant structural problems.
-
Major organs
Reviews the liver, kidneys, pancreas and other organs for masses.
-
Lymph nodes
Flags enlarged lymph nodes that may warrant a closer look.
-
Spine & major joints
Assesses the spine and large joints for wear and significant change.
-
Large blood vessels
Includes a look at the aorta and the major blood vessels.
-
Incidental findings (the trade-off)
It will find harmless things too - we explain how often, honestly, before you book.
-
A clear written report
A prioritised report and a conversation about what actually matters.
Full-body MRI options
Not all full-body scans are the same.
What each option on your referral is actually for.
-
Standard full-body MRI
Head-to-pelvis screening of the major regions in one visit.
-
Enhanced full-body
Adds dedicated brain detail to the standard screen.
-
Men’s full-body
Adds a prostate mpMRI to the standard screen for men.
-
Women’s full-body
Adds a dedicated pelvis study to the standard screen for women.
-
Cardiac add-on
Adds a cardiac MRI for a look at heart structure and function.
-
Diffusion whole-body
A whole-body diffusion study, used mainly in an oncology context.
-
Targeted follow-up
A focused scan to look more closely at something the screen flagged.
-
Annual surveillance
A repeat screen to track changes year on year.
Our vetted London network
A small panel of clinics, we picked them.
Partners across central, north, west and south London. Not listed publicly - introductions are made privately, once we understand your case.
Selection criteria
How we choose every clinic in our network.
-
CQC-registered, with a current good or outstanding rating
-
Screens read by a consultant radiologist, with clear onward advice
-
Modern 3T or wide-bore 1.5T scanners across the panel
-
A structured report, usually within 3-5 working days
Safety and eligibility
One of the safest tests in medicine.
Beyond the usual implant checks, the most important thing is understanding what a screen can and cannot do. We cover both before you arrive.
-
Pacemakers, defibrillators, neurostimulators
Many modern devices are MR-conditional. We check the model before booking.
-
Cochlear implants
Case-by-case. We confirm with the device manufacturer.
-
Aneurysm clips and vascular coils
Model and date of insertion matter. We need this from your hospital.
-
Metal fragments (eye, shrapnel)
May need a prior orbit X-ray. We arrange this where required.
-
Joint replacements, stents, plates
Almost always fine. May cause local artefact but rarely a safety concern.
-
Lying still for over an hour
A full-body screen takes 60-90 minutes or more. Tell us if lying still that long is difficult.
-
Claustrophobia
A full-body scan means longer in the bore. Wide-bore and open MRI are options, and we can arrange mild sedation.
-
What it will not find
A screen is not a guarantee - it can miss things and can find harmless ones. We explain the trade-off before you book.
-
Weight and size
Most scanners accommodate up to 200 kg. Wide-bore options for larger patients.
Reading your report
A screening report can look intimidating. It isn't.
However much ground it covers, the report keeps to the same four parts.
A quiet reminder
The report is written for a clinician - so we translate it, and tell you what matters.
If you would like us to talk you through it before your follow-up, just ask.
- 01 Header
Your details and the question
Your details, what the screen covered, and why you are having it.
- 02 Technique
How the scan was done
Which regions and sequences were covered (whole-body and, where added, dedicated brain, prostate or cardiac).
- 03 Findings
What the radiologist saw
A region-by-region description of the major organs, spine and vessels, clearly separating significant findings from harmless ones.
- 04 Impression
The conclusion: read this first
What matters, and what to do next - read this first. We talk it through with you.
Recognised by major UK insurers
Screening is often self-funded; where a scan is medically indicated we confirm cover with your insurer.
Frequently asked
Everything we get asked about full-body MRI.
Quick answers on cost, referrals, contrast, claustrophobia and results.
-
What is a full-body MRI screening?
A broad, radiation-free scan of the brain, spine, chest, abdomen and pelvis in one visit, looking for significant abnormalities. It is a screen, not a diagnosis of any one problem.
-
How much does a private full-body MRI cost in London?
A standard full-body screen is typically £750-£1,900 in our network. Adding dedicated brain, prostate, pelvis or cardiac imaging costs more. We confirm a firm figure within one working day.
-
What are the limitations of a full-body MRI?
It is honest work: it can miss small or early problems, and it frequently finds harmless things that lead to more tests and worry. We explain this trade-off clearly before you decide - it is not a guarantee of good health.
-
Is it better than a CT screen?
For screening, MRI has a major advantage: no ionising radiation, so it can be repeated safely. CT is better for some specific questions. We help you choose sensibly.
-
Do I need a referral?
Most full-body screens accept self-referral. We include a clinician conversation so the scan is the right choice for you, and arrange a private GP if a finding needs follow-up.
-
Will I need contrast (an injection)?
A standard full-body screen usually does not use contrast. It may be added if a specific finding needs characterising, in which case we check your kidney function.
-
How long does it take?
A standard full-body screen takes about 60-90 minutes; add-ons take longer. You lie still on your back and are moved gently through the scanner region by region.
-
What happens if it finds something?
We do not just hand over a report. We explain what was found, how significant it is, and arrange any follow-up - a targeted scan, a specialist, or simply reassurance.
-
Will my insurance cover it?
Screening in a healthy person is often self-funded rather than covered, but we check. Where a scan is medically indicated, Bupa, AXA, Vitality, Aviva, WPA, Cigna and Healix recognise us and we handle pre-authorisation.
-
Is a full-body MRI safe?
It is one of the safest tests in medicine - no ionising radiation, so it can be repeated. The main checks are for certain metal implants, which we confirm before you arrive.
