Private Patients

The simplest way to obtain a referral for an open MRI scan with us is to speak to your GP, consultant, physiotherapist, chiropractor or osteopath.

Prices are available on request.

NHS Patients

Newcastle Clinic is open to NHS patients who are claustrophobic, obese, or who do not find a closed scanner comfortable.

If you have been referred for an MRI scan or have been unable to use a closed MRI Scanner, please consult with your Consultant or GP, who will be able to refer you for an open MRI scan at Newcastle Clinic.
