Wanted: MRI scan

£400? had an MRI for about £60 few years ago. that was in philippines tho. they're cheap down there. had artists sketch out the results on the spot.

have you had an xray? most of the time that's enough to show what's wrong and where

Xray doesn't show the soft tissues well enough, CT scans also aren't ideal.

"MRI scans give greater detail of tissue structures of the brain, spinal cord, and musculoskeletal system than CT, without exposing the patient to large doses of ionising radiation."

£400 is bearable for an MRI here in .uk (as you can see by the mentions of £800+ in this thread!)

Either way, it's up to the 'health professional' that refers you as to what you have. In my case MRI was the requirement, Xray was not wanted.
