The problem

The best map of endometriosis is a scan, not surgery.

Endometriosis, fibroids and ovarian changes are hard to judge from symptoms alone. The right protocol, a good scanner and a consultant radiologist reading it are what turn a scan into an answer. We handle all three.

  • Not sure if you need one?

    We will say honestly - sometimes an ultrasound or a specialist review is the better first step.

  • Which protocol?

    Endometriosis, fibroid mapping and pelvic-floor studies are all different. We match the right one to your question.

  • Not sure who reads it?

    We route to clinics where a consultant radiologist with a gynaecological interest reports the study.

What it shows

Find the reason that matches your symptom.

Endometriosis, fibroids, ovarian changes or pelvic-floor symptoms each point somewhere different. These are the questions we settle most.

  • Endometriosis

    The best non-invasive test for deep endometriosis, mapping it before any surgery.

  • Fibroids

    Sizes and locates fibroids to guide treatment, including before an embolisation or myomectomy.

  • Ovarian & adnexal masses

    Characterises ovarian cysts and masses, helping tell benign from suspicious.

  • Uterus & adenomyosis

    Assesses the uterus for adenomyosis, anomalies and the cause of heavy or painful periods.

  • Pelvic masses & staging

    Characterises pelvic masses and supports staging alongside your specialist team.

  • Bladder & urinary symptoms

    Images the bladder and surrounding tissue behind urinary and pressure symptoms.

  • Pelvic floor & prolapse

    Dynamic imaging of the pelvic floor for prolapse and continence problems.

  • Post-surgery review

    Assesses the result of gynaecological surgery and looks for recurrence.

Women’s pelvic MRI types

Not all women’s pelvic scans are the same.

What each option on your referral is actually for.

  • Standard women’s pelvic MRI

    Images the uterus, ovaries and pelvic soft tissue. Often no injection needed.

  • Endometriosis protocol

    A detailed map of deep endometriosis across the pelvis before any surgery.

  • Fibroid mapping

    Sizes and locates every fibroid to plan embolisation or myomectomy.

  • Ovarian characterisation

    Focused imaging to tell a benign ovarian cyst from one that needs attention.

  • Dynamic pelvic floor MRI

    Imaging with strain to show prolapse and pelvic-floor weakness.

  • MRI with contrast

    A gadolinium study when a mass or inflammation needs closer characterisation.

  • Post-operative pelvis

    Tailored to assess previous gynaecological surgery and look for recurrence.

  • 3T high-resolution

    A stronger magnet for sharper detail of small pelvic structures.

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.

A modern London clinic with a current-generation 3T MRI scanner

  • CQC-registered, with a current good or outstanding rating

  • Pelvic studies read by a consultant radiologist with a gynaecological interest

  • Modern 3T or wide-bore 1.5T scanners across the panel

  • A report turnaround under 72 hours as standard

Safety and eligibility

One of the safest tests in medicine.

A few situations need a specific check - coils and pessaries are common and almost always fine. We handle them 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.

  • Coils, pessaries and IUDs

    Modern copper and hormonal coils are MRI-safe. Tell us which you have.

  • Joint replacements, stents, plates

    Almost always fine. May cause local artefact but rarely a safety concern.

  • Claustrophobia

    A pelvic scan places you near the centre of the bore. Wide-bore and open MRI are options, and we can arrange mild sedation.

  • Pregnancy

    No ionising radiation. Generally safe, particularly after the first trimester. Contrast avoided unless essential.

  • Kidney function

    A recent eGFR is needed if gadolinium contrast is planned.

  • Timing in your cycle

    Some scans are best on certain days of your cycle. We will tell you if it matters.

Reading your report

A pelvic report can look intimidating. It isn't.

However detailed the study, the report keeps to the same four parts.

A quiet reminder

The report is written for your gynaecologist, not for you - and that is normal.

If you would like us to talk you through it before your follow-up, just ask.

  1. 01 Header

    Your details and the question

    Your details, the scan performed, and the clinical question behind the referral.

  2. 02 Technique

    How the scan was done

    Which sequences were used (T2, T1, and diffusion). Each highlights the uterus, ovaries and soft tissue differently.

  3. 03 Findings

    What the radiologist saw

    A structured description of the uterus, ovaries and pelvic soft tissues, including any incidental findings.

Frequently asked

Everything we get asked about women’s pelvic MRI.

Quick answers on cost, referrals, contrast, claustrophobia and results.

  • What can a women’s pelvic MRI show?

    Endometriosis, fibroids and adenomyosis, ovarian cysts and masses, causes of heavy or painful periods, pelvic-floor problems and prolapse, and the result of previous surgery.

  • How much does a private women’s pelvic MRI cost in London?

    A standard study is typically £350-£650 in our network. Endometriosis mapping, contrast or a dynamic pelvic-floor study cost more. We confirm a firm figure within one working day.

  • Is MRI better than a laparoscopy for endometriosis?

    They do different jobs. MRI is the best non-invasive map of deep endometriosis and often guides whether and how to operate; laparoscopy both confirms and treats. We help you and your specialist decide.

  • Do I need a referral?

    Many clinics accept self-referral, but some protocols and any contrast study are safer with a letter. We can arrange a fast-track private GP or gynaecologist if needed.

  • Will I need contrast (an injection)?

    Often not. Contrast is added mainly to characterise a mass or complex finding. We explain in advance if it is likely.

  • Does it matter where I am in my cycle?

    For some questions, yes - certain scans are clearer on particular days of your cycle. We will let you know when to book.

  • How long does it take?

    Most women’s pelvic scans take 30-45 minutes. Endometriosis and dynamic studies take a little longer. You lie still on your back throughout.

  • How quickly will I get the results?

    A consultant radiologist report is usually ready in 24-72 hours. With your consent we send it and the images to your GP or gynaecologist.

  • Will my insurance cover it?

    Most policies cover pelvic MRI when clinically indicated and pre-authorised. Bupa, AXA, Vitality, Aviva, WPA, Cigna and Healix recognise us, and we handle the pre-authorisation.

  • Is a pelvic MRI safe?

    It is one of the safest tests in medicine - no ionising radiation. The main checks are for certain metal implants, which we confirm before you arrive.
