Private MRI, CT and Ultrasound Scans in London, Fast
A symptom that has not been explained occupies more of your life than its size suggests. It is there when you plan the month ahead, there when you try to sleep, there in the conversations you have started and stopped with the people close to you. Around 1.6 million people in England are currently waiting for a diagnostic test, and the six-week standard has not been met since 2017. Every one of those weeks has a cost, and it is rarely counted in the statistics.
The Online GP by The Wellness arranges private MRI, CT, ultrasound, X-ray and DEXA imaging in central London, usually within the week and often the same or next day. MRI is from £650, CT from £550 and ultrasound from £425, each including a consultant radiologist report within 24 to 48 hours and a consultation in which a doctor takes you through the findings and arranges whatever should follow. At London's flagship hospital groups, the Cleveland Clinic London, the Cromwell Hospital and The London Clinic among them, self-pay imaging of this standard commonly begins around £700 to £900 and rises well beyond. Ours is priced within that tier, and structured so that the scan, the expert report and the medical judgement arrive together.

Choosing the right scan
Each form of imaging answers a different question, and part of our role is making sure you have the right one, once. Ultrasound examines soft tissue and organs, and suits abdominal and pelvic symptoms, gallstones and kidney stones, the thyroid and gynaecological assessment. MRI produces detailed images without radiation, and is the choice for the brain and spine, joints and ligaments, persistent back and knee problems and unexplained neurological symptoms. CT is rapid and precise for the chest, abdomen, bones and blood vessels. X-ray and DEXA assess bones, fractures and bone density. Because CT and X-ray involve a measured dose of radiation, the law requires each scan to be clinically justified, and our doctors review and authorise this within the service, which also ensures you are never scanned for a question a different test would answer better.
If you describe your symptoms in your first message, we will confirm the right scan before anything is booked.
What the fee includes, in full
Every scan we arrange carries three components, and the fee covers all of them. The imaging itself, performed on current-generation equipment. The formal written report from a consultant radiologist, delivered within 24 to 48 hours. And a consultation in which one of our doctors sits down with you, explains what the images show in plain language, and puts it in the context of your health. Where the findings call for treatment, a specialist opinion or further imaging, that is arranged in the same conversation, by the team that already holds your results. Nothing about the process asks you to interpret your own scan or organise your own next step.
Send us your symptoms and we will confirm the right scan
What an answer changes
Patients tend to book imaging for a reason they can name and a weight they cannot. The reason is the headache, the lump, the joint that has not healed, the symptom a partner has been gently insistent about. The weight is the months of not knowing. An answer, delivered within days and explained by a doctor, resolves both. Most findings bring reassurance, and reassurance from someone who has reviewed every image is worth having in itself. Where a finding needs attention, discovering it now rather than after a season on a waiting list changes what can be done about it, and how calmly.
If you may be pregnant, tell us before booking, as it determines which scans are appropriate. For emergency symptoms, severe chest pain, breathing difficulty or signs of a stroke, call 999 rather than arranging imaging.
Booking
Send us a message describing your symptom or the scan you have been advised to have, and whether a morning or afternoon appointment suits you better. Same-day capacity is limited each day, so the earlier in the day you message, the more we can do with it. You will have a confirmed time, a clear fee and a plan for your results before the day is out.
