The North East London Community Ultrasound and MRI Service provides access to diagnostic ultrasound and MRI for people living in North East London.
Services are delivered from community-based locations, making care available closer to home and supporting timely diagnosis and treatment.
What we do
Ultrasound scans are used to produce images of the inside of the body using sound waves.
They help healthcare professionals to:
- Investigate symptoms
- Support diagnosis
- Monitor existing conditions
Ultrasound is a safe, commonly used imaging method that does not involve radiation.
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scans use a strong magnetic field and radio waves to produce detailed images of the inside of the body.
They help healthcare professionals to:
- Investigate symptoms
- Support diagnosis
- Assess injuries and conditions
- Monitor existing conditions
- Help guide treatment
Our community MRI service provides non-contrast MRI scans, meaning that contrast dye is not routinely used. MRI does not involve ionising radiation and can provide detailed images of many parts of the body.
Who can access the service
This service is available to people registered with a GP surgery in North East London. Referrals can be made by GPs and some other healthcare professionals.
