A magnetic-resonance scan of the abdomen that images the liver, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, adrenal glands and surrounding soft tissues in detail without radiation. It is often requested to characterise findings seen on ultrasound or CT, or to assess organs in finer detail. At OMEGA the study is performed on a 1.5 Tesla scanner and frequently uses intravenous contrast for full assessment. A typical scan takes around 30 to 40 minutes, after which a specialist radiologist reviews the images and provides a written report.

A magnetic-resonance scan of the prostate gland using a multiparametric protocol that combines several MRI sequences to image the gland in fine detail without radiation. It is commonly requested in men being assessed for prostate concerns, often alongside blood testing. At OMEGA the study is performed on a 1.5 Tesla scanner and typically takes around 30 to 40 minutes. A specialist radiologist reviews the images and provides a structured written report, with a more comprehensive screening package also available.

A contrast-enhanced 3 Tesla MRI of the brain in which a gadolinium agent is given through a vein partway through the scan to highlight areas of altered tissue, inflammation or abnormal blood-vessel patterns. It is typically chosen when a plain scan needs further characterisation or when closer assessment of a known finding is wanted. The online price already includes the contrast injection. The appointment runs longer than an unenhanced scan, and a specialist radiologist's report is emailed within 72 hours.

A magnetic-resonance scan of the breasts, offered together with mammography, that images breast tissue in fine detail without radiation from the MRI component.
