At the Spire Wellesley Hospital, our state-of-the-art mobile MRI scanner is a GE HDx model, new in June 2009, which is designed to give your doctor or surgeon some of the best quality scanning images currently available both in Essex and across the industry as a whole.
....Signa HDx easily captures musculoskeletal anatomy like you've never seen it.

An MRI is a special scan that builds detailed 2D or 3D image of parts of the body using very specialised magnets and radiowaves instead of radiation, like x-rays. All parts of the body may be scanned and it is a painless process.
The detailed images created will help your doctor to diagnose and monitor a range of medical conditions.
Depeding on the type of scan your doctor has asked for, they can take between 15 minutes and one hour to complete. Our team of imaging staff and radiographers will guide you through the whole process to make it as easy and as comfortable for you as possible.
Scanning appointments are available 2 days each week both with early morning and evening appointments available from 8.00am - 8.00pm for patient convenience.
As a privately-insured or self-funding patient, should your doctor or surgeon refer you to have an MRI scan, you have the choice of where to have it done.
There is ample free parking in the Hospital grounds as well as a comfortable waiting area with complimentary refreshments at the Spire Wellesley Hospital and it is our aim to ensure you are guided through the whole process as quickly and easily as possible.
