Frequently Asked Questions
Our expert team is always on hand to help answer any questions, queries and arrange appointments.
Should I be worried if I need an MRI?
A doctor or consultant usually recommends an MRI if they want to take a closer look at certain areas of your body. We understand that this can cause some anxiety, but it is usually thought to be for the greater good in the long run so should not be anything to worry about.
How long does a full body MRI scan take?
A full body scan can take anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours. You will be informed of how long your scan will take when booking your appointment.
Is an MRI scan painful?
As an MRI scan is a non-invasive procedure, no anaesthesia or pain relief is required. However, if you have claustrophobia or are particularly nervous, you can request some sedation. Please let us know your preference ahead of your procedure date.
Can anyone have an MRI?
Although an MRI is considered a safe procedure, it may not be recommended for certain people. If any of the following apply to you, we advise you consult with us for an alternative procedure:
A cochlear implant
Any metal in your body (like a pacemaker)
Experienced allergic reactions to similar procedures previously
Kidney problems
Pregnant or breastfeeding
How long do I have to wait for my MRI results?
Here at Pall Mall, we aim to process our reports within 14 days. However, sometimes operational processes can delay this. Please do not worry, if there are any delays, we will keep you in the loop. It does not automatically mean something is wrong with your results.
Is an MRI safe?
Substantial research has been undertaken as to whether the magnetic properties and radio signals during an MRI used can cause issues to the human body. No evidence has been found to indicate there is a risk. Additionally, MRI is a non-invasive procedure, making it one of the safest options available.
Can I get additional areas of the body scanned?
Yes. If you would like to get tests for other areas of the body that aren't included, please mention this to your specialist at one of your consultations.
Real Patients. Real Stories
After losing his father at just 50 years old, Robert made the decision to take control of his health. Aware of his family history and unwilling to face long NHS waiting times, he opted for a private full-body MRI scan at Pall Mall. “I know it’s important to be proactive when it comes to my health, but I couldn’t shake the anxiety I had before the appointment.”
The radiologist’s report, delivered to his email, showed that while most of the scan was clear, there were a few early-stage concerns. “Luckily, I was told that I had identified the issues early enough to prevent them becoming anything more serious,” Robert said with relief. A follow-up call with a Pall Mall private GP provided clarity and guidance, and he was prescribed medication to manage the risks.
“I’ll never forget the relief in my wife’s eyes when she heard that all I needed was tablets to prevent me from suffering the same fate as my dad."
