Imaging
Multiparametric Prostate MRI
A multiparametric prostate MRI (mpMRI) is a detailed, radiation-free scan of the prostate — now recommended before any biopsy, because it can spot significant cancers and help many men avoid an unnecessary biopsy altogether.

Why it matters
The right test, in the right order
If your PSA is raised or you have urinary symptoms, current best practice is an mpMRI first. It gives a detailed picture of the prostate and a standardised score (PI-RADS) that guides whether a biopsy is needed and, if so, exactly where to target it.
- Helps detect clinically significant prostate cancer
- Can spare many men an unnecessary biopsy
- Targets a biopsy accurately if one is needed
- Radiation-free

How we run it
From PSA to plan
We review your PSA and symptoms (see our PSA test and urology services), arrange the mpMRI and specialist reporting through our imaging partners, and then talk you through the result. If a biopsy or treatment is needed, we refer you promptly to a consultant urologist.
This is an assess, scan and refer service. Where treatment or specialist management is needed, we arrange it promptly through our trusted consultant and imaging partners.
Good to know
Safe, joined-up care
GMC-registered clinicians, CQC-registered clinic
You’re seen by GMC-registered clinicians at our CQC-registered Whitechapel clinic. We keep clear, confidential records and, with your consent, share a summary with your NHS GP so your care stays joined up. A chaperone is available for any examination on request, at no charge.
You don’t need to be registered with us, and private care complements — it doesn’t replace — being registered with an NHS GP.
Fees
Clear, up-front pricing
Consultation and assessment fees are set out on our price list, and any tests or treatments are explained and priced clearly before you go ahead — no surprises. Some services are priced on enquiry; just ask the clinic team.

Common questions
Still have a question? Our team can help you choose the right appointment.
Why have an MRI before a biopsy?
Because national guidance now recommends mpMRI first — it improves detection of significant cancer and helps many men avoid an unnecessary biopsy.
Does it involve radiation?
No — MRI is radiation-free. Some prostate MRIs use a contrast injection, which we’ll explain.
What is a PI-RADS score?
A standardised 1–5 score describing how likely a suspicious area is to be significant cancer — it guides whether and where to biopsy.
What if the scan is abnormal?
We explain the result and refer you promptly to a consultant urologist for a targeted biopsy or further management.
Where will my scan be done?
At a trusted CQC-registered partner imaging centre such as Vista Health, Oryon Imaging or Alliance Medical. The report is brought back to a clinician here to explain.
Can I use private medical insurance?
Often, yes — we have direct agreements with Bupa, AXA Health, Vitality, Aviva and Cigna. Coverage depends on your policy and authorisation, and some insurers need a GP referral first. See insurance partners.
Where is the clinic?
Tower Bridge Hospital is at 97–99 Whitechapel Road, London E1 1DT — a few minutes’ walk from Aldgate East and Whitechapel stations, and easy to reach from the City, Liverpool Street, Shoreditch, Canary Wharf and London Bridge.
