Written by the company

Medserena is a specialist provider of open and upright MRI scans. Our Open MRI scanners are beneficial to all patients who suffer with claustrophobia and have a fear of conventional, tunnel MRI systems. We accept referrals from both healthcare professionals and self-referrals. Payment by private health insurance, self-pay and NHS authorised funding are all accepted. We specialise in providing private MRI scans of the brain, spine, joints and pelvic region. Our Upright MRI system is unique in that it can image the whole spine, including the craniocervical junction (CCJ) in an upright position. In addition, our variPOSE™ technique (varying the pose through flexion, extension and rotation for the scan) allows us to thoroughly assess the effects of gravity and posture on joints and soft tissue.

A lifesaver

A lifesaver. For someone who can't tolerate normal MRI scan this was a lifeline. The team at Medserena were exceptional and supported me throughout the process. I can't thank them enough.

Excellent

Iv had several failed MRI Scans which is why I was referred to this clinic. I had a successful Scan, nice quiet environment and was talked through everything that was going to happen before hand and was reassured during the scan as to what would happen next.

Medserena Manchester - AMAZING

I had an outstanding experience at Medserena Manchester, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! As someone who is tall, big, and struggles with severe claustrophobia, I was extremely anxious about needing a full set of scans - head, whole spine, and shoulder. But the open MRI scanner at Medserena is truly top-notch. I fit comfortably, and for the first time ever, I felt absolutely no fear.

I spent about 1.5 hours with the radiology team, and Stanley and Huma were exceptional. Their patience, reassurance, and constant check-ins made me feel completely safe and supported throughout the entire process. I genuinely couldn’t have asked for better care.

The reception team is just as wonderful. Jane, who booked my appointment, is an absolute angel: warm, helpful, and the perfect welcoming face for the company.

If you’re putting off a scan because you’re scared or think you won’t fit, don’t wait. Medserena will look after you, support you, and make the experience as easy as possible. I recommend them to everyone!

Very good MRI facility

A modern, clean and comfortable facility. Excellent staff who are professional and accommodating. I’m claustrophobic and cannot cope with a tunnel type MRI scanner, however the “open” MRI scanner at Medserena caused me no problems and was relatively quiet. I can highly recommend this facility.

Professional People which the MRI report came direct to me

I liked the place clean and well lit. Before coming to them I was emailing them from Kuwait and they were very prompt in their response. The MRI staff were very friendly and let my daughter enter the room with me.

What I did not like is that the report took more than the five working days they promised. The second dismay was that the report had to go to my consultant and did not come to me direct. I am the person paying and it is my health. It should come to me direct.
