What to bring
Please bring your ID and insurance details with you and arrive 10-15 minutes before your appointment time.
Information to let us know
Let us know about any medical conditions, implants, allergies or medications so we can plan your scan safely.
Remove metal items
You’ll be asked to remove all jewellery, watches, dentures and any other metal items. Your belongings will be stored securely. Nothing containing metal can enter the scan room.
Eating and drinking
In most cases you can eat and drink as normal beforehand. Some scans require fasting, we’ll let you know in advance if your scan needs any preparation.
MRI Contrast Dye (if required)
Some scans use a contrast dye to improve image clarity. If you need contrast, we’ll explain exactly what to expect.
Feeling nervous
It’s completely normal to feel nervous. Our team will support you and keep you comfortable throughout. If needed, your doctor can prescribe a mild sedative.
During your MRI
We make your scan experience as calm, comfortable and reassuring as possible.
Getting ready
You'll need to change into a gown. Private changing space and secure lockers are provided to store your belongings. You'll also need to complete a safety screening form.
During your scan
You'll lie on a comfortable table that moves slowly into the MRI scanner. You'll hear tapping or knocking sounds during the scan. This is completely normal, and ear protection is provided. Remaining still helps us capture the clearest images possible.
Designed for comfort
Our advanced 3T MRI scanner has the widest opening. You won't be fully enclosed—the scanner is open at both ends, and often only the area being examined is inside. We also offer a calming environment with personalised lighting, calming nature visuals and soothing music.

Most scans take between 15 and 45 minutes, depending on the area being examined.
