What we do

Private scans, found and compared in one place

FindScan is a free comparison and enquiry service for private diagnostic imaging in the UK. Tell us the scan you need and where you are. We put your enquiry in front of clinics that can do it, and you deal with the clinic direct.

Free to use

You pay the clinic, never us. Searching, comparing and sending an enquiry through FindScan costs you nothing.

Independent

We are not owned by a hospital or clinic group, so no provider holds a permanent place at the top of your results.

One enquiry

Send your details once instead of phoning clinics one at a time and repeating the same story.

How it works

Four steps, and you stay in control at every one of them.

01

Tell us what you need

Scan type, body area and where you are. If you are not sure which scan applies, our guides explain the differences.

02

We pass it to clinics

Your enquiry goes to providers who offer that scan near you, with the detail they need to come back with a quote.

03

Compare what comes back

Location, availability and the clinic’s own price, side by side, in your own time and with no pressure.

04

Book direct with the clinic

The appointment, your images and your report sit with the clinic that scans you, not with us.

What you can look for

The scans most often arranged privately in the UK. Which one is right for you is a clinical decision, not ours.

MRI

Detailed soft tissue imaging using a magnetic field. No ionising radiation.

CT

Fast cross sectional imaging. Uses ionising radiation, so a referral from a registered healthcare professional is required.

Ultrasound

Real time imaging using sound waves. No ionising radiation.

X-ray

Quick imaging, most often of bone. Uses ionising radiation, so a referral is required.

DEXA

Bone density measurement, used when assessing osteoporosis risk.

Health checks

Some clinics offer health check packages and blood tests alongside their imaging.

What FindScan is not

We are a directory and an enquiry service. We are not a clinic. We do not carry out scans, we do not report on images, and we do not tell anyone whether they need a scan or which scan to have.

We do not hold your images or your report. Those stay with the clinic that scanned you. Where a scan uses ionising radiation, the referral comes from a registered healthcare professional, never from us.

Working with us

Two ways into the network, depending on which side of the appointment you sit.

For clinics and imaging centres

List your service, receive enquiries from people already looking for the scan you offer, and reply on your own terms with your own pricing.

For clinicians and referrers

Our referral network gives GPs, consultants and allied health professionals a route to private imaging for the patients in front of them.
