Because Prevention Is Always Better Than Cure

Open and Upright MRI scanner keeps patient comfort in mind

Share this

Are you anxious, claustrophobic, have limited mobility or a larger patient that needs a scan?

Then look no further as our open and upright MRI scanner is less intimidating than a closed scanner as our patients have an open 270 degree view out of the scanner (front, above and behind). There is also room for our larger patients (up to 200kg/31.5st) to feel more accommodated and comfortable and due to the openness of the scanner, our patients with limited mobility can find our open scanner easy to access when stepping in and out.

We also offer the use of our open and Upright MRI scanner to patients who simply prefer to use an open scanner and for children age 10 years and over.

 

Where can I access an Open and Upright MRI scanner?

 

Our open MRI scanner is located at our centres in Central LondonLeeds and Birmingham, and provides a more relaxing, comfortable patient experience. The scanner has a vertical magnetic field rather than a standard cylinder to help our patients.

The open MRI scanner offers optimal image quality and we are open 7 days per week 8am-8pm with extremely short waiting times  (1-2 weeks). 

Vista Health has pioneered the self-referral pathway within private diagnostic services. We know how difficult it can be to see a GP, so we made it easier than ever for you to access diagnostic services when you need them the most. Refer yourself and book online here.

Frequently asked questions

If you’re about to begin a healthcare journey, you’re likely to have a few questions. We’ve tried to answer the most common queries here - but if you don’t find what you’re looking for, you can always ask one of our friendly patient care advisors.  

I don’t have any symptoms. Can I still book a procedure? 

Yes. Diagnostic healthcare can provide reassurance that all is well, and help you plan a healthy future lifestyle. 

Can I discuss my results? 

We offer a consultation service with GMC registered GPs to discuss your scan results. 


*20% consultation discount will be applied when booked together with your scan.

How much will diagnostic healthcare cost? 

Our diagnostic services start from as little as £75. 

What if I cannot refer myself? 

Self-referral is available in most circumstances. However, in some instances, we may need further clinical information. We will contact you if this is the case. If needed, we offer a virtual GP consultation service where we can provide you with a referral and a follow-up consultation to discuss results.

Can I refer myself? 

We accept self-referral in most cases. Self-referral allows you to take control of your own health with direct access to our own specialist diagnostic services. We also offer a GP consultation service to provide you with a referral if you need one.

When will I get my results? 

We aim to deliver all results within three working days of your appointment. If you have not heard from us within this timeframe, please contact us. 

How long will my appointment take?

It depends on the scan or screening you choose, but most appointments take less than 90 minutes. We ask you to arrive around 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment.  

How do I book an appointment?

For most services you can book online or by phone, and you don’t need a GP referral. Choose your service, your preferred location and a convenient date here.
